Mrs GrenBy Ella

IntroductionThere are seven ways to tell living things apart from non living things they could be called Mrs Gren. They are Movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth reproduction , excretion and nutrition . if things show these features they must be living things. If living things did not show these features they wont be alive.

GrowthWe need growth desperately to stand up to enemies and dangerous predators. As we don’t want to be at the bottom of the food chain. Every single little thing grows. Even plants grow up to the sun because the sun is one of those things that they need to survive. And Nutrition is another.

NutritionAll living things need nutrition. Imagine a world without it. Nutrition ,known as food. If living things did not have any food we could only survive one week without it. Plants get their nutrients from the sun. As the sum moves above the sky they move with it , absorbing the suns rays and creating chlorophyl.

MovementWithout movement we would die. Think about it ,if I stayed in the same spot I couldn’t just go to the cupboard and grab a bite to eat, because I cant move! Also imagine if a predator is right in front of you your part of the food chain and also dead meat! Plants move up to the sun because they need its rays to make food.

SensitivityThere are all sorts of sensitivity such as: feel, sight, scent, taste and touch. All of us also have sensitive taste buds. Even plants can be sensitive. Its not like it wouldn’t hurt if I pulled a leaf off a plant. Even thought it will properly grow it back. Sensitivity helps us to be safe, if we didn’t have sensitivity then all our predators would come after everybody without them knowing.

ReproductionReproduction. We all do it. Plants make seeds, humans create babies, horses have foals, dogs have puppies, cows have calves. Without reproduction we would all be extinct because there would be nothing to continue our species and the amount of living things would drop down to zero. All that would be left on the world would be non- living things such as liquids, mountains and gasses.

RespirationWe all breath , humans and animals breath

oxygen and plants breath carbon dioxide. If all living things hold there breath they would all eventually die. For humans and animals it goes through our nose to our lungs and out our mouths. Plants breath carbon dioxide through their roots and excrete oxygen. If humans did stop breathing no blood will be pumped around their bodies and the heart wont pump. If the heart stops humans would have a heart attack.

ExcretionExcretion is all about getting rid of chemical

waste. Plants get rid of theirs by shedding their leaves . While humans and animals on the other hand , do wee and poo or urine they have stored up in their bladder once its full we will let it out by going to the toilet. If we did not do this proses we would be constipated and become very sick breathing.

ConclusionThank you for watching I hope you liked it and maybe learn something new. But please there's just one more slide to go I recommend it to you if you’re a little down in the dumps! And it can lift your spirits.

end happy middle sad start

Thanks for watching
