Class 10 Science Chapter 6 Life
Processes Notes
Introduction
All living organisms have certain
common characteristics, such as
breathing, growing, requiring
nutrition, producing offspring,
responding to stimuli, etc., that
distinguish them from non-living
things. There are certain vital
processes that maintain
homeostasis and proper
functioning of the body, they are
called life processes. These
processes continue to occur even
when we are sleeping or not
performing any action. These
processes are essential for all
,living organisms, including plants
and animals. These life processes
are nutrition, photosynthesis,
transportation, metabolism,
respiration, reproduction and
excretion.
In this chapter, we will learn about
the details of these processes
occurring in plants, animals and
human beings in particular.
Earth happens to be the only
known planet having life
if
, e. There are beings who live, die
and become part of nature again.
The living organism can be
differentiated from the inanimate
entities on various parameters of
life processes.
Life Processes
The maintenance of living
organisms is essential even if
they are moving, resting or even
sleeping.
The processes which together
perform the function of
maintenance of ‘life’ are called as
life processes.
Nutrition, respiration, circulation,
and excretion are examples of
essential life processes.
