All living things share seven life processes: movement, reproduction, sensitivity, nutrition, excretion, respiration, and growth. Something is considered alive if it can perform all seven of these processes. The document proceeds to describe examples of each life process for both plants and animals. It suggests remembering the seven processes by thinking of the acronym "MRS NERG".
