Living things / organisms
• Only living things have all eight
Mrs Grehn
Movement -ability to move
Respiration -release energy from food
Stimuli / Sensitivity -are sensitive and respond to stimuli (surroundings)
Growth & development -increase in size
Reproduction -produce offspring
Excretion -get rid of waste products
Homeostasis -self regulates to control its internal conditions to stay stable
Nutrition -taking in minerals for growth and development
