- M- movement
- R- reproduction
- S- sensitivity
- G- growth
- R- respiration
- E- exrection
- N- nutrition
Movement
- All living things move. Even plants move.
- They move very slowly by growing in certain directions.
- Plants can grow towards the light.
- Even microscopic organisms like bateria show signs of movement.
