MOVEMENT, RESPIRATION, SENSITIVITY, GROWTH, REPRODUCTION, EXCRETION, NUTRITION All living things must have these 7 characteristics.

Movement Photo by Adam J Helms It is easy to see a dog move but even the sea anemone that is stuck to a rock moves. Plants also move in response to the sun as well as response to touch.

Respiration photo by Angela Helms (features Estella Helms) Humans and animals breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. Plants are the opposite of us.

Sensitivity photo by Adam J Helms Flowers face the direction of the Sun’s rays to take more advantage of photosynthesis.

Growth photo by Adam J Helms Plants and animals grow until they are fully mature. These baby chicks will soon be as big as their mother.

Reproduction photo by Adam J Helms Plants reproduce in different ways.. Here you can see a dandelion seed being carried away by the wind.

Excretion Photo by Adam J Helms All animals and plants must have a way to give off waste. Here you can see just a few of the diapers that little Estella will use over the next few years. One example of waste that plants give off is oxygen.

Nutrition Photo by Adam J Helms Plants make their own food from carbon dioxide, water and the Sun’s energy. Humans and animals must eat to get their nutrition. This moth is getting nectar to eat while it is spreading pollen from plant to plant.
