1. Food and Energy Needs

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Life processes : The activities by which living organisms take in food, derive energy, remove waste, and respond to environmental changes.
  • Nutrition : The process by which living beings obtain food, convert it into simple absorbable forms, and use it to make substances needed by the body.

Essential Points

  • Food provides energy for life processes, raw materials for growth and tissue repair, and materials for producing enzymes and hormones.
