  4. 4. (d) excretion — Removing wastes is excretion.
  5. 5. Growth, nutrition and reproduction (also respiration, response, movement, excretion).
  6. 6. Releasing energy from food, usually by taking in oxygen and giving out carbon dioxide.
  7. 7. Living creatures share several characteristics. They show nutrition, taking in food for energy and materials, and growth, increasing in size over time. They carry out respiration, releasing energy from food using oxygen, and excretion, removing the wastes their bodies produce. They show response to stimuli, reacting to changes around them, such as moving away from heat or bending towards light. They show movement on their own, and they reproduce, producing new individuals of their own kind so life continues. Together these features describe what it means to be alive.
