Topic 2 : Living things undergo life processes

LIFE PROCESSES

Living things undergo many life processes. There are seven things that they need to do to count as being alive. The phrase MRS GREN is a way to remember them:

Movement - all living things move, even plants

Respiration - getting energy from food

Sensitivity - detecting changes in the surroundings

Growth - all living things grow

Reproduction - making more living things of the same type

Excretion - getting rid of waste

Nutrition - taking in and using food

So, what you need to do is to remember MRS GREN!
