Study Notes
Characteristics of Living Organisms
- All living organisms share common characteristics, which distinguish them from non-living things.
Vital Processes
- Vital processes, also known as essential life processes, are the necessary functions that maintain homeostasis and proper functioning of the body.
Essential Life Processes
- The essential life processes for all living organisms include:
- Nutrition (obtaining and utilizing energy and nutrients)
- Respiration (exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide)
- Circulation (transport of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products)
- Excretion (removal of waste products)
- Movement (change in position or location)
- Growth and Development (increase in size and complexity)
- Reproduction (production of new individuals)
- Response to Stimuli (reaction to changes in the environment)
- Digestion (breakdown of nutrients into simpler forms)
Distinguishing Living Organisms
- Living organisms are distinguished from non-living things by their ability to perform these essential life processes.
Planet with Life
- Earth is the only known planet having life.
