DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -For most cells to grow and divide, they need the energy provided by food, oxygen and water. While different living things eat different foods, the food is the source of organic compounds that combine with oxygen to release carbon dioxide and energy. The cells use the energy to create more cell material and grow.

Detailed explanation-2: -Living organisms must take in energy via food, nutrients, or sunlight in order to carry out cellular processes. The transport, synthesis, and breakdown of nutrients and molecules in a cell require the use of energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Why Living Things Need Energy. Inside every cell of all living things, energy is needed to carry out life processes. Energy is required to break down and build up molecules, and to transport many molecules across plasma membranes. All of life’s work needs energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Most living things need food, water, light, temperatures within certain limits, and air. Living things have a variety of characteristics that are displayed to different degrees: they respire, move, respond to stimuli, reproduce and grow, and are dependent on their environment.

Detailed explanation-5: -All living things breathe, eat, grow, move, reproduce and have senses. Non-living things do not eat, grow, breathe, move and reproduce.
