Study Notes
Life Functions of Organisms
- Homeostasis refers to an organism's ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes.
- Excretion is the process through which an organism eliminates waste products from its body.
- Metabolism encompasses all chemical activities necessary for sustaining life, requiring energy and nutrients.
- Growth involves the increase in size of an organism, achieved through increases in cell size and cell number.
- The removal of cellular waste, such as water, carbon dioxide, salts, and nitrogen compounds, is termed excretion.
- Responsiveness is the ability of an organism to control various activities in reaction to changes in its environment.
- Reproduction is essential for the survival of a species, although it is not critical for the individual organism's survival.
