    The document discusses the characteristics of living organisms and cells. It provides definitions for seven characteristics of living things: movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excretion, and nutrition. It then discusses that cells are the basic unit of life, and that cells can be either prokaryotic or eukaryotic. Finally, it defines tissues as groups of similar cells performing a common function, and organs as groups of tissues working together to perform a particular function in organ systems.

    Cells and Organisms

    Grade VI
    Characteristics of Living Organisms
    Lesson 1
    Objective:
    Recognise the seven characteristics common to living things and their
    importance for the survival of organisms.
    Movement

    ● An action by an organism causing a change


    of position or place
    Respiration

    ● The chemical reactions that break down nutrient molecules in living cells to release energy
    Sensitivity

    ● the ability to detect and respond to changes in the environment


    Growth

    a permanent increase in size


    Reproduction

    ● the processes that make more of the same kind of organism


    Excretion

    ● the removal from organisms of toxic


    materials and substances in excess
    of requirements
    Nutrition

    the taking in of materials for energy,


    growth and development
    Written Work

    Q1.: Which characteristics of living organism you possess while sitting in your classroom?

    Q2: A car is sensitive to touch and can show the movement too. Can we classify that car as a living
    organism? yes/no, justify your answer with logical reason.
    Cells, Tissues and Organs
    Lesson 2

    Learning Outcome:

    Describe that cells are the basic units of life – all living things are made of cells.
    Cell to Organism
    Cell is a basic unit of life

    1. Cell is the structural & functional unit of living organism


    2. Type of Cell On the basis of the structure of nucleus cell is of two types-

    Prokaryotic cell ( e.g. Bacteria)

    Eukaryotic cell ( e.g. Human cell)


    Function of Cell

    Ingestion & assimilation – the process by which food substances are taken into the cells of the body after they have been
    digested and absorbed.

    Growth & repair – Development & regeneration of organs.

    Metabolism – The sum of all the chemical & physical changes that takes place within the body.

    Breathing– the process of gaseous exchange.

    Excretion – elimination of wastes product from the body.


    Tissue

    Collection of cell having similar structure &


    performing a common function is called tissue.
    Examples of Types of tissues

    ● Onion Epidermis: It covers the surface of ● Ciliated Epithelium: It lines the tubes
    the layers inside the onion. leading down to our lungs (Trachea,
    Bronchus). The cilia all wave together like
    grass in the wind.
    Think about it!!

    Q. What is the function of the ciliated epithelium tissue?


    Organs and organ systems

    Organ: Collection of tissues united together to perform a particular function is called organ.

    Examples: The skin is one of the human body’s largest organs. Brain, Heart, lungs are some examples of human organs.

    Leaves, fruits, flowers are some examples of plant organs.

    Organ System: Set of organs that all work together to carry out the same function .
    Homework

    Find out the names and functions of the different organs that are part of one system in the human body.

    Choose from: Digestive system, circulatory system, respiratory system or skeletal system
