Biology

This year I am learning about Biology. I will update my blog as I finish units with some interesting things I have learned.

I have been learning about The 7 Life Processes.

1. Reproduction.
   
   Animals can live happily all their lives, growing, eating and moving around, but if they don't reproduce (make babies) they won't have anything to show for themselves in the future - their species will quickly die out.
2. Transport. It's a simple fact, most animals move. Humans (like you) can move because your body is supported by an internal skeleton - that's right, you are just a bag of bones!
3. Growing. Babies can't stay babies all their lives!
   They have to grow up! When first born, human babies are completely dependent on their parents for everything - food, water, shelter, clothing.
   As babies grow into children and adolescents, humans are still dependent on their parents for many things - they have a lot of growing up to do, and don't become independent until they reach the age of about 18 when they go to college or move away from home.
4. Excretion.Excretion cleans up after respiration.
   Respiration is a chemical reaction that takes glucose (sugar) and oxygen to produce energy. But it also produces water and carbon dioxide as bi-products.
   Excretion gets rid of carbon dioxide, water, and other, possibly harmful, substances from your body.
5. Respiration.All animals respire. A lot of people think respiration means breathing - this is not true. Respiration is a chemical reaction. It occurs in every cell in your body.
6. Nutrition.Nutrition is just a complicated word for something we all like doing - eating!
   All animals, including humans, eat to live.They take in food at their mouths, munch it with their teeth, and the teeth break it down so it can be taken into the stomach. All the nutritious bits of the food are absorbed into the body through the intestine, and the rest comes out the other end!
7. Sensitivity.
   Your senses let you know what is going on in the world around you. Humans have five senses: hearing, sight, smell, touch and taste. They are controlled by five sense organs: the ears, eyes, nose, skin and tongue.
