What it means Going from one place to another. Animals usually move their whole body from one place to another. Leaves turn towards the light. Roots grow down into the soil. Producing new plants or animals. Animals have babies. New plants grow from seeds. How things react and respond to what is happening around them eg plants turning and moving towards the light or your mouth watering when you smell something good to eat. Taking in food. Food is needed to supply energy Green plants can make their own food using sunlight, carbon dioxide and water. Animals eat plants or other animals. Getting rid of waste substances. eg Plants and animals excrete (get rid of) carbon dioxide. Making energy to keep you active. Plants and animals use oxygen from the air to help turn food into energy. We need energy for our muscles. Cells multiplying and growing Seedlings grow into bigger plants. babies grow into adults

Stimuli are agents or anything that rouses or incites an activity. The term may also refer to an agent such as an environmental change that directly manipulates the activity of a living organism or one of its elements. Example. Hitting the skin with a needle or pin is an example of stimulus and the sudden removing of the hand or jumping away is the response.

Response any behavior of a living organism that results from an external or internal stimulus. Example. Tropism a biological phenomenon, indicating growth or turning movement of a biological organism, usually a plant, in response to an environmental stimulus. In tropisms, this response is dependent on the direction of the stimulus (as opposed to nastic movements which are non-directional responses). Example. some cells may not be conducive for the growth of a virus, which determines its tropism. The stimulus of light on insects may also be seen as a type of ethological tropism. He got a response to his letter.

Phototropism the growth of organisms in response to light. It is most often observed in plants, but can also occur in other organisms such as fungi. The growth or movement of a plant part in response to a source of light. The cells on the plant that are farthest from the light have a chemical called auxin that reacts when phototropism occurs. Example. if you put new growing plants in a window, it will grow and bend towards the sun. Geotropism turning or growth movement by a plant or fungus in response to gravity. It is a general feature of all higher and manylower plants as well as other organisms. Charles Darwin was one of the first to scientifically document that roots show positive gravitropism and stems show negative gravitropism. Example: the diverse topics covered in the volumes include acorn worm, air masses and fronts, Homeostatic the property of a system that regulates its internal environment and tends to maintain a stable, relatively constant condition of properties such as temperature or pH. It can be either an open or closed system. In simple terms, it is a process in which the body's internal environment is kept stable. Example: the body include temperature control, pH balance, water and electrolyte balance Metabolism the set of life-sustaining chemical transformations within the cells of living organisms. These enzyme-catalyzed reactions allow organisms to grow and reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to their environments Example: the digestion of a protein into amino acids that the body can absorb from the diet and use in its own metabolism Growth and development Development from a lower or simpler to a higher or more complex form; The series of changes which animal and vegetable organisms undergo in theirpassage from the embryonic state to maturity, from a lower higher state of organization. Example:

to

the organism is said to be developing. Development is an increase in complexity of an organism as it grows to adulthood.

Metamorphosis Metamorphosis is a biological process by which an animal physically develops after birth or hatching, involving a conspicuous and relatively abrupt change in the animal's body structure through cell growth and differentiation. Example: non-bony fish include the lamprey Adaptation An adaptation, also called an adaptive trait, in biology is a trait with a current functional role in the life history of an organism that is maintained and evolved by means of natural selection. Example: Bacteria and will adapt to certain antibacterial medications, thus evolving into a "superbug".

Reproduction any of various processes, either sexual or asexual, by which an animal or plant produces one or more individuals similar to itself Example: sea stars and sea anemone
