The organisation of
living things
 Cells
Cells are the basic units of life. Are all the cells the same?

We can classify living things into two types:

unicellular and multicellular

We can classify living things into two types:

unicellular and multicellular

Unicellular: living things that are made up of

only one cell.

Multicellular: living things that are made up of

many cells.

All living things carry out the basic life processes of interaction,
nutrition and reproduction but they do these in different ways.

Reproduction

There are different types of reproduction:

• Oviparous reproduction: they reproduce by laying eggs.

• Viviparous reproduction: they reproduce by growing their
young inside the mother’s body.

• Ovoviviparous reproduction: they reproduce with eggs that

hatch inside the mother’s body.

Nutrition
Plant cells make their own food using
photosynthesis.

1. The roots absorb water and minerals

from the soil to make raw sap.

2. The raw sap travels up the stem to

the leaves.

3. Carbon dioxide enters the leaf and

oxygen is expelled.

4.Photosynthesis takes place in leaves.

They use sunlight and carbon dioxide to
convert raw sap into elaborated sap.

5.The elaborated sap travels down the

stem to other parts of the plant.

Interaction

The roots of a plant grow towards

water and nutrients in the soils, and
their leaves grow towards sunlight.

Reproduction

Plants reproduce in different ways:

• Seed plants: produce seeds.

• Non-seed plants: don’t produce seeds.
