6976809778respirationthis is the process which releases energy from food1
6976810712sensitivityall living things can sense and react to changes in the environment, animals react to temperature, light, sound and smell2
6978960231growthplants and animals grow from a single cell until they are adults3
6978965957reproductionall living things can make organisms like themselves simple organisms like bacteria do this by splitting in half4
6978981518excretionnutrition and other processes produce waste materials that cannot be used. Animals get rid of waste from their lungs5
6978996681nutritionplants and animals need food for energy and growth. green plants make their own food from carbon dioxide and water by photosynthesis6
6979004923cellbasic unit of life7
6979036804tissuea group of similar cells that carry out the same function e.g muscle tissue8
6979040697organa group of different tissues that work together to carry out a particular function e.g heart and lungs9

6979081006plant cellcell surface membrane, cell wall, chloroplasts, cytoplasm, nucleus, vacuole13
6979095635cell surface membranekeeps the cell together and controls what goes into and out to the cell14
6979098802chloroplastgreen discs that allow the plant to make food by photosynthesis15
6979103834nucleustells the cell what to do16
6979126389cell wallsupports the cell17
6979128950cytoplasma jelly like substance. Many of the cells activities happen here18
6979134659vacuolea storage space filled with cell sap19
6979141884sperm cellto get to the egg so it can create a baby special features: tail to swim, mitochondria20
6979151433nerve cellto send messages to the brain special features: long so it can reach everything in the body21
6979161267red blood cellit carries oxygen through the body so you can breath special feature: has no nucleus which means there is more space for oxygen22
6979173140leaf cellto carry out photosynthesis special function: has a lot of chloroplasts to help the plant photosynthesis23
6979208924root hair cellto absorb water underground special feature: large surface areas to speed osmosis24
6979234014heartthe heart pumps blood around the body through a network of veins25
6979253832brainthe brain is the control centre of the body26
6979257858lungsthe lungs take air into our body from which we take oxygen27
6979267178stomachfood is partly broken down in the stomach by hydrochloric acid28
6979281867liverthe liver acts like a filter to clean our blood29
6979285082kidneysurine is stored in the kidney30
6979293243bladderthe bladder removes waste chemicals from our blood and produce urine which is stored in the bladder31
6979300667large intestinemost of the water in our food is absorbed back into our body from the large intestine32
6979305870small intestinefood is broken down in the small intestine to release chemicals our body can use including sugar, proteins, fat, vitamins, minerals and fibre33
6979326308how cells work or createthe cell grows larger the cell makes a copy of the nucleus the cytoplasm begins to divide the cell membrane closes and the two knew cells divide34
6979351449reproductionsexual reproduction needs a male sex cell to join with a female sex cell35
6979355704pubertymale: testis start to make sperm, penis grows, hips thinner changes in both: skin gets oiler, pupic hairs grow, legs get bigger, muscles get stronger female: breast develop, ovaries start to release eggs, change in behaviour girls become more attracted to boys, hips widen and more fat is distributed so they can have a baby36
6979376462sperm cell37
6979395804egg cell38
6979401950penissperm duct, prostate, testis, penis, urethra39
6979409141vaginaovary, oviduct, cervix, uterus, vagina40
6979410616fertilisationin the female, one of the ovaries produces an egg every 28 days, this is called ovulation millions of sperm are ejaculated into the vagina if a sperm meets the egg, the sperms nucleus can join with the eggs nucleus this is called fertilisation the nuclei of the sperm and egg then divides sperm cells swim up to the eggs tube the fertilised egg travels into the uterus and sticks to the inside this is implantation after stimulation the male sperm comes out the testis and exits through the penis41
6979465942sexual reproductionthe production of new individuals with a combination of features from two parents42
6979473333gametesspecial sex cells, the sperm and egg43
6979476384zygotethe organism formed when a sperm and egg combine44
6979482331fertilisationthe joining of sperm and egg45
6979484553pubertya stage of human developments at which the person becomes able to reproduce46
6979491311sex hormoneschemicals that control the physical and mental changes of puberty47
6979519875ovulation and fertilisationovulation means when the ovum is released from the ovary the joining of the ovum and sperm is called fertilisation fertilisation usually happens in the oviduct after fertilisation the egg begins to divide the egg develops into a ball of cells the baby develops in the uterus48
6979542349menstrual cycledays 1-5 the lining is lost from the uterus this is called a period days 6-13 the lining of the uterus thickens to get ready for a fertilised egg day 14 a ripe egg is released from the ovary this is called ovulation day 15-28 the lining of the uterus stops developing if the egg was not fertilised49
