7 characteristics of living things
1. Nutrition: feeding relationship, gaining nutrients to provide energy and to grow
2. Growth: increases in mass and size
3. Respiration (cells): gaining oxygen to provide energy and to transfer oxygenated blood to all part of body
4. Reproduction: reproductive organs to produce offspring (child)
5. Movement: change in position (in animals: to find shelter, food to survive)
6. Sensitivity: reaction to the stimulus (plant: tropism, animal: mimicry)
7. Excretion: remove waste (kidneys: urine, anus and rectum: undigested food)

Invertebrate (doesn't have backbones)

Cells
Animal vs plant
Animal: no cell wall
Cell membrane

Function:
1. Mitochondrion (mitochondria): respiration to provide energy
2. Nucleus (brain): control all the activity within cells
3. Cell wall: giving shape and protect
4. Cytoplasm: where organelle cells are found
5. Vacuole: storage (waste)

New Section 1 Page 5

 5. Vacuole: storage (waste)
6. Ribosome: produce protein
7. ER: tubes that help materials to move and stored
8. Golgi apparatus: to store protein

Only in plants
Chloroplast: contains chlorophyll for photosynthesis
