What to Focus On

  • Visible movement is not the only evidence of life.
  • Molecular movement inside cells is necessary for life.
  • Maintenance requires nutrition, respiration, transport, and excretion.
  • Autotrophs make food from carbon dioxide and water.
  • Heterotrophs depend on other organisms for food.
  • Photosynthesis needs sunlight and chlorophyll.
  • Amoeba uses pseudopodia and food vacuoles.
  • Paramoecium uses cilia to bring food to a specific spot.
  • Salivary amylase digests starch in the mouth.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Movement is the only proof of life.

Autotrophs and heterotrophs are the same because both need food.

Photosynthesis happens all at once only in sunlight during the day.

Memory Tips

Life processes as maintenance functions of living organisms

Visible movement is not enough to define life

Heterotrophs
