    1) Humans need air to breathe (), we needoxygen from air to survive.

    2) Breathing is include 2 action, inhale (take in) and exhale (let out).

    HUMANS BREATHE

    inhale (breathe in)

    exhale (let out)

    3) The air which breathe in contains moreoxygen while the air which let out contains

    more carbon dioxide.

    Air flows

    Humans Excrete and Defecate

    1) Excretion is the removal of waste productsfrom body.

    2) Human excrete () and defecate () toget rib of waste materials () from body.

    3) These waste materials are :- urine ()- sweat ()- carbon dioxide ()

    4) Excretion is essential to keep the humanbody in good health.

    5) Human will suffer from many diseases if the

    waste products are not remove well.

  • 8/13/2019 2 Life Processes

    6/52

    6) Waste products are produced by body cells

    when they carry out chemical processes.7) Defecation is the process by which faeces()

    are removed from the body.8) Faeces are undigested food materials.

    9) Faeces also contain some bacteria() andvery little amount of water.

    10) Faeces are formed and accumulated() in

    the large intestine(

    ).11) Faeces are removed() from bodythrough anus().

    2) The lungs remove carbon dioxide and waterduring exhalation.

    3) Carbon dioxide and water are produced whenbody cells carry out respiration().4) The kidneys are organs that filter out()

    waste materials from blood() and produce

    them become urine.5) Urine consists of water, urea(), and

    mineral salt().6) Urine is stored in urinary bladder()

    before removed from body.7) The skin excretes waste products in form of

    sweat().8) Sweat contains water, urea and mineral salt.

  • 8/13/2019 2 Life Processes

    9/52

    9) Sweat is produced by sweat glands() theskin and gets out from by sweat pores().

    10) Sweating can helps to cooling the body andreduces the temperature of body.

    The Important of Excretion andDefecation

    1) Through excretion, humans get rids of toxicwaste products() such as carbon dioxideand urea.

    2) Helps to control the amounts of water andmineral salts in the body.

    3) Sweating can cool the body and maintain the

    body temperature.4) If faeces stay too long in the body willbecome drier and harder and can causeconstipation().

    Humans Respond to Stimuli1) Humans can respond() to external

    stimuli(

    ) to protect themselves fromdanger.2) Examples of stimuli that body can respond to

    are:

    - sound() - temperature()- pain () - smell()3) The senses organs of humans are:

    - skin

    - a pair of eyes- a pairs of ears- the nose- the tongue

    4) Examples of how human respond to stimuli:

    Stimuli Responses

    High temperature at

    the surface of a glass.

    When the hands touches a hot

    surface , it quickly pulls back.

    Low temperature of

    a cold wind.

    When it is cold, we rub our hands

    together to keep them warm.

    Pain is felt when

    the fingers touch

    the thorns of a

    durian fruit.

    When the hand touches a sharp

    object, it quickly pulls back.

  • 8/13/2019 2 Life Processes

    15/52

    Stimuli Responses

    The loud noise of

    thunder.

    We cover our ears when there is

    thunder.

    The foul smell

    of animal waste.

    We cover our noses to keep out bad

    smell.

    16/52

    The Important of Responses ToStimuli

    1) The ability to respond to high temperaturecan helps human to avoid getting injured orburnt.

    2) The ability to respond to low temperatures

    can help human to avoid losing too much heatwhen it is cold.3) The ability to respond to pain can helps

    human avoid getting injured by sharp objects.

    4) The ability to respond to loud sounds enableshuman to protect their ears from damage.

    5) The ability to respond to smells can help tokeep human away from things that may be

    dirty, dangerous or bad for our health.

    Humans Reproduce1) Reproduction() is the process by which

    humans produce their young or offspring().2) Humans need reproduce to:

    - maintain their number.()

    - increase their number.()- maintain the balance of nature.()

    3) If humans do not reproduce, in the end, all

    humans will die out and human species becomeextinct.

    4) Humans have their own families, thus theyhave their own family tree.

    Bad Habits That Affect LifeProcesses

    1) Habits that bring harm to life processesinclude:

    - smoking

    - taking drugs- drinking alcohol2) These habits cause harm to the organs in our

    body and cause dead.

    will sit on their eggs until they hatch.7) The chicken will look after its eggs and the chicks.8) However. Some animals such as the turtle, tortoise,

    mosquito and frog will not on their eggs. They leave

    the eggs to hatch by themselves.9) The turtle digs a hole on a sandy beach to lay itseggs. It than covers the hole with sand to burrythe eggs.

    10) A female mosquito lays its eggs in stagnant water.The eggs float on the surface of the water. Theeggs hatch in two to three days.

    LIFE CYCCLES OF ANIMALS1) A life cycles is the series of stages undergone by a

    living thing from or egg to adulthood().

    2) Different animals may have different life cycles.3) Animals undergo changes in size and shape during

    the different stages of their life cycles.4) Some young animals look like their parents but

    PLANTS RESPOND TO STIMULI

    1) Plants respond to the following stimuli:- gravity()- water()

    - sunlight(

    )- touch()2) When a part of plants grows towards a stimulus,

    it is said to show a positive response.

    3) However, when a part of plant grows away fromthe stimulus, it is said to show a negativerespond.

    PLANTS RESPOND TO GRAVITY

    36/52

    PLANTS RESPOND TO GRAVITY1) The response of plants to gravity:

    a) roots grow towards gravity.

    b) shoots grow away from gravity.c) the response of roots to gravity makes sure

    that roots always grow downwards into the soil.d) this growth of roots deep into the soil helps

    plants to find water and minerals in the soil.

    PLANTS RESPOND TO WATER

    PLANTS RESPOND TO WATER1) The response of plants to water:

    a) roots grow towards water.

    b) shoots grow away from water.c) the response of roots to gravity makes sure

    that roots always grow towards the source ofwater in the soil.

    d) plants need water to prevent wilting and formaking food in the process of photosynthesis.

    e) minerals in the soil also dissolved in the water.

    PLANTS RESPOND TO SUNLIGHT

    PLANTS RESPOND TO TOUCH

    1) The response of plants to touch:a) the leaflets of the mimosa plant will fold up

    when been touched.b) the response may help to protect the plant

    from animals that try to eat its leaves.

    c) the tendrils of some plants such as thecucumber plants and bitter gourd plant, thetwining stems of some plants like bean plant

    and the morning glory plant curl around nearbybranches or other supporting structures thatthe plants come in touch with.

  • 8/13/2019 2 Life Processes

    42/52

    2) The response of tendrils and twining stems helpsplants to climb to a higher position to get more

    sunlight for photosynthesis.3) Such response also helps plants with soft stemsto get support from nearby plants or supportingstructures.

    PLANTS REPRODUCE

    1) Plants need to reproduce to ensure the survivalof their species.2) If the existing plants do not reproduce, the

    plants species on Earth will become extinct.

    3) Animals that feed on plants will also not surviveand will become extinct.

    4) Without plants, the Earth will no longer be asuitable place for humans to live in.

    5) The Earth will also become a very hot place.6) The amount of oxygen in the air will decrease

    quickly.

  • 8/13/2019 2 Life Processes

    7) Different types of plants reproduce in differentways.8) Ways of plants reproduce include reproducing :

    - by seeds()

    - by spores()- by the cutting of the stems()- through the leaves()- through suckers()

    - through underground stems()

    BY SEEDS

    1) Flowering plants such as the durian tree, maize,rambutan tree, balsam plant, watermelon andpapaya tree produce new plants by seeds.

    2) The flowers of these plants will develop into

    fruits and their seeds can de found in the fruits.3) When fruits are eaten by animals, theundigested seeds will pass from the animals body.

    4) When there is water and suitable temperature,

    the seed will geminate to produce a new plants.5) In most cases, the new plants look very much the

    same as the parent plants.

    BY SPORES1) Non-flowering such as ferns, mushroom and

    mosses reproduce by spores.

    2) A spores is a tiny spherical cell that can beobserved by using a magnifying lens.

    3) Spores are very tight, they can easily be carriesaway by the wind.

    4) Millions of spores found inside a spores capsule.5) The spores capsules of a fern are located in

    groups at the underside of the leaves of the fern.

    6) When the spores are ripe, the spore capsulesburst open and the spores scattered.7) The spores will start to grow when they land on

    soil under favourable conditions such as enough

    humus, water and the suitable temperature.

    THROUGH THE LEAVES

    1) Young plants can grow from the leaves of certain

    plants such as the begonia, bryophyllum andAfrican violet.

    2) The leaves of these plants are usually thick andbuds grow from them.

    3) Shoots and roots grow from the buds to produceyoung plants.

    THROUGH THE CUTTING OFSTEMS

    1) Plants such as the sugar cane, tapiaco, begonia,rose, hibscus and geranium grow through stem-cutting.

    2) In stem-cutting, the stem that is cut from the

    parent plant must have a bud.3) When the stem cuttings of these plants areplanted in the soil, the buds on the them willgrow into a new plant.

    THROUGH SUCKERS

    THROUGH SUCKERS1) Some plants such as the banana, bamboo, yam and

    pineapple plants grow from suckers.2) Young plants usually grow around the parentplants.

    3) The young plants can be transferred to another

    place by digging them up and planting them ingood soil away from the parent.

    THROUGH UNDERGROUND STEMS

    THROUGH UNDERGROUND STEMS1) The ginger, turmeric and potato are examples of

    plants that grow from underground stems.2) Underground stems contain stored food for theplants.

    3) Buds of these plants grow below the soil surface.

    4) The buds will produce young shoots and roots.5) As the shoot grows into a young plant, it will also

    start to store food in its underground stem.
