Life processes are a set of activities that occur within living organisms to maintain life.
A key characteristic of life processes is that they are continuous, meaning they happen constantly throughout an organism's existence.
Examples of life processes include growth, reproduction, respiration, nutrition, and excretion.
Life processes are defined as the essential functions that allow living organisms to survive, grow, and reproduce.
Sleeping is not an example of a life process, as it is a state of rest rather than an essential function for survival.
The purpose of life processes is to maintain homeostasis or a stable internal environment within an organism.
