LIVING THINGS

• The characteristic of living things are
• a. Need for food and water
• b. Need oxygen to breath
• c. Respond to stimuli
• d. Reproduce
• e. Grow and develop
• f. Excrete waste
• g. Need certain temperature
• h. Move
•

1. Requiring water, and food

• Water main substance that contained by living
  things body. 2/3 parts of living things body is
  water. Water is the temperature regulatory of
  living things body.
• Food main source of energy for supporting the
  life

5

• All organisms need energy to stay alive. They
  also need materials to make the living matter in
  the cells of their bodies. Organisms gain the
  energy and materials they need from their food
• Non living things do not required nutrition.

2. Requiring Oxygen to breath

• Oxygen main substance is needed by living thing
  for respiration process

7
Respiration

• Respiration is the process of breaking up food
  to gain energy.
• Chemistry reaction of respiration
• Food oxygen energy
  carbon dioxide
• 
  water
• C6H12O6 O2
  energy CO2 H2O

3. Receive and respond to the stimulus /
iritability

• By using the senses, living things can receive
  and respond the stimulus
• Animals and plants are sensitive to changes in
  their environment. They often react to these
  changes in ways which are beneficial to
  themselves
• Example If you smell something un pleasant or
  touch something very hot, you immediately move
  away from it.

9

• Stimulus is the external factor that comes from
  the environment and received by living thing.
• Respond is the react from the living thing to the
  stimulus
• Sensitivity or irritability is response of living
  organisms to a stimulus

4. Reproduction

• Reproducing is one of the manners for getting
  new generation.
• All organisms are able to reproduce. In
  reproduction some charactheristic are passed from
  parents to off spring.

11

• Generative Reproducing ( sexual reproducing
  )is the reproducing started by fertilization
  process

12

• Vegetative reproducing ( asexual reproducing )
  is the reproducing not started by fertilization
  process.
• Examples
• -budding
• -fission
• -Fragmentation
• -parthenogenesis

13
Budding
14
Fragmentation/ regeneration

• Body piece grow to whole body
• Example Phylum Platyhelminthes
• Class Turbellaria

15
Fission

• Phylum Cnidaria
• Class Anthozoa

16
Phartenogenesis

• If the new generation comes from the egg without
  started by fertilization process.
• Example Honey bee

5. Grow and Develop

• Growing is permanent increase in the mass and
  volume an organism.
• Example -Small change up to big
• Short change up to long
• The body of an organisms can change and become
  larger in size. It can also become more complex.

• Developing is the change process of living
  thing.
• Example menstruation in woman
• produce sperm in man

21
6.EXCRETION

• Excretion is the discharge process of waste
  substance from inside the body.

22
7. Adaptation to the Environment

• Adaptation is an effort of living thing for
  making the suitable condition with the
  environment. Example need certain temperature.
• Adaptation
• divided into Morphology adaptation
• Physiology adaptation
• Behavioral adaptation

23
8. Movement

• It easier to detect movement in animals than in
  plants. The movement of organisms is independent
  of external forces such as wind or water
  currents.
• Most animals are able to move from one place to
  another. Such movement is termed locomotion.
  Example Horse runs
• But, some animals do not have the power of
  locomotion. For example, corals and sponges are
  fixed to one place. However, they can still move
  parts of their bodies.

24

• Plants move
• Most plants are unable to carry out locomotion
  buat parts of the plants are always moving
  slowly.
• The flowers of plants slowly open, and their
  shoots ben towards light as they grow.

EXERCISE

• Now, I ask you to observe the living organisms
  around you. Compare them with non living things.
  Write down a list in a table like this

26
Identify the following things based on the
characteristics of the living things
Things Living Non-living Characteristics
1. Mouse
2. Wooden table
3. Snail
4. Mango fruit
5. Whiteboard
6. Fungus
7. Virus
