Activity 5. Listen and match the sentences in the two columnsTHE MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF LIVING THINGS ARE:They are bornAll living things are born from anotherliving thing.They eatAll living things need food to eat.They growAll living things increase in size duringtheir lifetime. Sometimes they changein appearance.They reactLiving things can perceive what is goingon around them, and they react to whatthey perceive.They reproduceLiving things can create offspringsimilar to themselves.They dieLiving things stop functioning and ceaseto live.Activity 6. Read the following text, underline the words in bold and matchthem with the definitionsWORDS DEFINITIONSSensitivity processLiving things perceive what is happeningaround them. Living things react to whatthey perceive.Heterotrophic living thingsLiving things that eat other livingcreatures.Sensitivity processThanks to this process, humans can usetheir sense organs to perceive what ishappening around them and react.Autotrophic living thingsLiving things that eat inorganicsubstances (water, minerals and gases).Reproduction processLiving things can have offspring withtheir same characteristics.Nutrition processLiving things ingest food substances,transform them into nutrients andeliminate waste substances.Material AICLE. 5º de Primaria.:Living things (Solucionario)5

Activity 7. Read the text again and choose the correct answer1. We can divide living things into two groups depending on how they getnutrients: a) Heterotrophic living things and autotrophic living things2. Heterotrophic living things eat: c) Other living creatures3. Autotrophic living things: b) Make their own food4. Thanks to reproduction: a) Living things reproduce and have offspringwith their same characteristics5. Thanks to sensitivity: b) Living things perceive what is happening aroundthem6. Thanks to nutrition: c) Living things ingest food substances, transformthem and eliminate waste substances7. Humans beings use their sense organs: a) To perceive what is happeningaround them and react8. Living things can have offspring: a) With their same characteristics9. Most living things: b) Need another living thing to reproduce10. There are: a) Three basic life processesActivity 8. Listen and complete the text about the three life processesThe three life processes are: nutrition, sensitivity, and reproduction.1. Nutrition: Living things ingest food substances, transform them into nutrientsand eliminate waste substances. Food contains essential nutrients that areused by living things to grow and get energy to carry out life processes.Living things can be heterotrophic living things if they eat other livingcreatures or autotrophic living things if they make their own food.2. Sensitivity: Living things react to what they perceive. Thanks to thisfunction, humans can use their sense organs to perceive what is happeningaround them and react. For example, animals can look for food and escapewhen they perceive danger.3. Reproduction: Living things can have offspring with their same characteristics.Many living things need another living thing to reproduce. When maleand female living things reproduce, they make new living things similar tothemselves.6Material AICLE. 5º de Primaria.:Living things (Solucionario)

Activity 11. Listen, read and complete the text in pairsWHAT IS A CELL?Living things are made up of millions of very small units called cells.A cell is the smallest living unit which makes up a living thing.The number of cells in a living thing varies. Some living things are made upof a single cell, so we call them unicellular. Other living things are made upof many cells, so we call them multicellular.Cells are living things, so they carry out the three life processes: nutrition,sensitivity and reproduction.Cells have three parts: a membrane, a nucleus and a cytoplasm.In multicellular living things:Cells form tissues.Tissues form organs. Organs are made up of a group of tissues that worktogether to carry out a common function. For example, muscles are organs.Organs form systems. Systems are made up of a group of organs that worktogether to carry out a common function. For example, the digestive system,the musculoskeletal system or the reproductive system .Systems form organisms. An organism is a complete living thing.Activity 12. True or falseWhat is a cell?1. A cell is the biggest living unit that makes up aliving thing.2. Living things have different numbers of cells.3. All living things are unicellular.4. Unicellular living things have many cells.5. Living things carry out the three life processes: nutrition,reproduction and sensitivity.6. Cells have three parts: a membrane, a nucleus and acytoplasm.7. Tissues form cells.8. Tissues form organs.9. Organs form systems.10. Organisms form systems.Material AICLE. 5º de Primaria.:True or Living things (Solucionario)7

Activity 17. Listen and circle the correct answer1. Monerans are: a ) Unicellular living things2. Monerans are: c) Autotrophic living things and heterotrophic living things3. Protists are: c) Unicellular and multicellular living things4. Protists are: a) Autotrophic living things5. Fungi are: c) Unicellular and multicellular living things6. Fungi are: b) Heterotrophic living things7. Plants are: c) Multicellular living things8. Plants are: a) Autotrophic living things9. Animals are: c) Unicellular and multicellular living things10. Animals are: b) Heterotrophic living thingsActivity 18. Read the following text and correct the mistakes you can findin them.Monerans are unicellular living things. They have one single cell withoutnucleus. They can live in different environments. They are autotrophic andheterotrophic living things.Protists are unicellular and multicellular living things. They live in water.They are autotrophic living things.Fungi can be unicellular or multicellular living things. Fungi are usuallyfound underground, on pieces of wood or on decomposing food. They areheterotrophic living things.Plants are multicellular living things. They are autotrophic living things.They do not have sense organs neither nervous system. They can react tostimuli.Animals are multicellular living things. They are heterotrophic living things.They can move and they have a nervous system and sense organs that allowthem to react to stimuli quickly.Material AICLE. 5º de Primaria.:Living things (Solucionario)9
