Life Processes Vocabulary
The process by which organisms become bigger and stronger is growth.

Life Processes Vocabulary

In the second KS2 Science quiz about the seven life processes (movement, reproduction, sensitivity, nutrition, excretion, respiration, and growth), we explore the words that explain each process - the life processes vocabulary.

MRS. NERG helps us remember these words: Movement, Reproduction, Sensitivity, Nutrition, Excretion, Respiration and Growth. But what do they mean? Some are easy, like growth (getting bigger) or nutrition (eating), but what about excretion or respiration?

Do you know what all seven life processes mean? Test your knowledge of the words that describe what every living thing can do with this science vocabulary quiz.

Are Quizzes the Key to Children's Success? Find Out
1 .
What is the process by which organisms become bigger and stronger?
Exercise
Nutrition
Movement
Growth
All living organisms grow
2 .
Which life process is the ability to change place or position?
Growth
Reproduction
Movement
Respiration
Animals use their bodies to move, while plants move by growing or turning towards the Sun
3 .
What is the process of cell division (fission) or cloning to create new individuals in a species?
Sensitivity
Respiration
Reproduction
Growth
This definition refers specifically to the method of reproduction seen in some plants and single-cell organisms
4 .
What is the life process by which food is transformed into the energy living things need?
Reproduction
Respiration
Digestion
Absorption
Food molecules are broken down to release energy in a process called respiration. Because our bodies require oxygen for this process, human respiration also includes breathing oxygen in and carbon dioxide out
5 .
Which life process uses other sources to replace the energy needed to maintain life?
Reproduction
Nutrition
Growth
Sensitivity
This is another way of saying that living organisms require food, which can only be found from outside themselves (even in the case of plants, which need the Sun in order to make food)
6 .
What is the life process by which an organism rids itself of waste products?
Respiration
Feeding
Circulation
Excretion
All living things must get rid of the useless or toxic byproducts of chemical processes - this is called excretion
7 .
Which life process stops at death?
Respiration
Growth
Nutrition
All of the above
Death is when all life processes stop - all living organisms die eventually
8 .
Which life process is the ability to respond to a stimulus?
Movement
Sensitivity
Respiration
Reproduction
Stimuli (plural of stimulus) include light, heat, sound, touch, taste and smell - all living organisms are sensitive or responsive to stimuli
9 .
What is the life process by which living organisms obtain food?
Nutrition
Hunting
Respiration
Growth
Plants create their own food from the Sun's energy in a process called photosynthesis. Animal nutrition includes feeding and digestion
10 .
Which life process is the ability of living organisms to produce more of the same species?
Growth
Respiration
Reproduction
Creation
Organisms produce offspring to keep the species going after their death
