Concept

Key idea

Living things carry out life processes. They use nutrients, release energy from food through respiration, grow, respond to their surroundings, and remove wastes. Living populations continue through reproduction. Growth means an increase in size as living cells grow or multiply. Response means reacting to a change, such as a shoot growing towards light. Reproduction produces new living things of the same kind. An individual can still be alive even if it does not reproduce. A toy car may move, but its movement comes from a push or a motor. It does not carry out life processes. Check several signs of life together rather than judging by movement alone.
