Characteristics Of Living Organisms | Bite-sized | GCSE | IGCSE Biology | Mr Science in 8K

🌱 Welcome to our exciting GCSE Biology lesson on the Characteristics of Living Organisms! 🌿

In this video, we're diving into the essential traits that define all living organisms. Whether you're reviewing your KS3 knowledge or gearing up for GCSE, we've got you covered.

During KS3, you learned about MRS GREN – the key characteristics of life. But guess what? At KS4, we've got an extra trait to add to the mix. Let's break it all down!

🔍 MRS GREN – The Core Traits of Life

Movement: From organisms shifting their position to plants growing towards light and gravity.
Reproduction: The magical ability to create offspring.
Sensitivity: Detecting and responding to stimuli, like feeling pain or reacting to changes in the environment.
Growth: The art of increasing in size and mass, driven by cell multiplication and growth.
Respiration: A chemical process inside cells, producing vital energy.
Excretion: The removal of waste and toxins, keeping the system clean.
Nutrition: The essential process of obtaining materials for energy, growth, and development.
💡 The Extra "C" – Control of Internal Conditions

Learn about the crucial role of internal condition control, also known as homeostasis.
Discover how the body regulates factors like glucose levels, temperature, and water for optimal function.
