Differentiate between excretion and secretion in plants and animals
| Excretion | Secretion |
| The removal of waste substances from the body of a living being is called excretion. | The process of removal of wastes in plants is referred to as secretion. |
| e.g. formation of urine excrete urea from the animals, body. | e.g. latex, resin and gum are waste for the ptant but useful for us. |

(iii) Reproduction
(iv) Respiration
(v) Adaptation
(vi) Excretion
4.
(i) Prey: An animal hunted or caught for food.
(ii) Predator: An organism that lives by preying on other organisms is called a predator.
(iii) Acclimatization: It is the process in which an individual organism adjusts to a gradual change in its environment (such as a change in temperature, humidity, photoperiod, or pH) allowing it to maintain performance across a range of environmental conditions. Acclimation occurs in a short period of time (days to weeks), and within the organism's lifetime
(iv) Adaptation: In biology, an adaptation, also called an adaptive trait, is a trait with a current functional role in the life history of an organism that is maintained or developed by means of natural selection. Adaptation refers to both the current state of being adapted and to be in the dynamic evolutionary process that leads to the adaptation.
(v) Stimuli: An agent, action, or condition that elicits or accelerates a physiological or psychological activity response.

| Living things | Non-living things |
| Living things are grow. | Non-living things do not Grow. |
