Define the terms: • nutrition as taking in of nutrients which are organic substances and mineral ions, containing raw materials or energy for growth and tissue repair, absorbing and assimilating them • excretion as removal from organisms of toxic materials, the waste products of metabolism (chemical reactions in cells including respiration) and substances in excess of requirements • respiration as the chemical reactions that break down nutrient molecules in living cells to release energy • sensitivity as the ability to detect or sense changes in the environment (stimuli) and to make responses • reproduction as the processes that make more of the same kind of organism
 * Charactersistics of Living Organisms || __1. Charactersistics of Living Organisms __

• growth as a permanent increase in size and dry mass by an increase in cell number or cell size or both • movement as an action by an organism or part of an organism causing a change of position or place || ====I gain and revise my knowledge by completing fully all the assignments that are set by my teacher. I also research for information on the internet which is useful for====

this topic.
|| ====I am quite confident about my knowledge that I have learnt from this topic.====

However, I still need to keep me remind all the things that I learn or else I will forget them.
|| ====I will try to revise once every weekend to remind me of what I have learnt in school.====

I will try to read more biology books to improve my knowledge and to understand the concepts of process in the nature (e.g pollination).
|| ====I make sure I finish all the homework set by my teacher. The evidence is still saved in my computer. I save them especially when it comes to revision for topic tests or exams.==== || ====This topic is one of my favourites.====

I need to revise again the biological terms, the names of organisms and their features.
