They include movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excretion, and nutrition.
They convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis.
Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles and a nucleus.
It's the process that maintains stability in biological systems.
They contain digestive chemicals to break down waste.
They convert sunlight into chemical energy via photosynthesis.
Nutrient molecules are broken down to release energy.
Sexual reproduction requires two gametes, while asexual needs only one parent.
It contains DNA and regulates gene expression.
