"Life Processes Uncovered: How Our Body Powers Up"
Life processes are the basic activities performed by living organisms to maintain and continue life. These processes help in the proper functioning, growth, and development of the body. The main life processes discussed in Class 10 NCERT Science include: 1. Nutrition – The process of obtaining and utilizing food. It is of two types: Autotrophic nutrition (e.g., plants) – organisms make their own food. Heterotrophic nutrition (e.g., animals, humans) – organisms depend on others for food. 2. Respiration – The process of breaking down food (glucose) to release energy. It occurs in all living organisms and can be: Aerobic (with oxygen) Anaerobic (without oxygen)
