Remember these tricky processes by the witty little phrase: “MRS NERG”. It’s weird, but hopefully, that’ll make you remember it!
| Movement | Animals move to find food and away from predators and plants move towards light. |
| Reproduction | Both animals and plants reproduce to keep their species in existence. |
| Sensitivity | Animals and plants are sensitive to their surroundings due to their sensory organs. |
| Nutrition | Animals need food for respiration and plants need minerals from the soil. |
| Excretion | Waste products must be excreted from plants and animals. |
| Respiration | Animals and plants must turn their food into energy by respiration. |
| Growth | Animals grow larger and stronger which helps them hunt better. |
