Life Processes

1. Absorption: The process of taking in nutrients or water through cells or tissues.

2. Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP): High-energy molecule used as the primary source of energy in
organisms.

3. Digestion: Breaking down complex food substances into simpler forms for absorption.

4. Enzymes: Catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in organisms.

5. Excretion: Elimination of waste products from the body.

6. Growth: Increase in size or development of cells and tissues.

7. Hormones: Chemical messengers that regulate physiological processes. 8. Ingestion: Intake

of food or nutrients into the body through the mouth.

9. Nutrition: Acquiring and obtaining nutrients necessary for growth and development.

10. Photosynthesis: Conversion of sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose and oxygen.

11. Reproduction: Production of offspring by organisms.

12. Respiration: Cells obtaining energy from food molecules, releasing carbon dioxide and water.

13. Respiration Rate: Number of breaths per minute, indicating oxygen intake and carbon dioxide
release.

14. Stimulus: Environmental change evoking a response from an organism.

15. Transport: Movement of substances within or between different parts of an organism.

16. Transpiration: Loss of water vapor from plant parts, primarily through stomata in leaves.
