Science Quiz - Life Processes Vocabulary (Answers)
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.

Stimuli (plural of stimulus) include light, heat, sound, touch, taste and smell - all living organisms are sensitive or responsive to stimuli

Animals use their bodies to move, while plants move by growing or turning towards the Sun

All living organisms grow

Organisms produce offspring to keep the species going after their death

Plants create their own food from the Sun's energy in a process called photosynthesis. Animal nutrition includes feeding and digestion
|
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
|

All living things must get rid of the useless or toxic byproducts of chemical processes - this is called excretion
|
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)

This definition refers specifically to the method of reproduction seen in some plants and single-cell organisms
