Need for Life Processes:

• The ultimate goal of a human body is:

1. To ensure the existence of the organism
2. To prevent damage and breakdown of the body 

In order to achieve this goal, the organism requires energy.

Energy is

• Absorbed by Digestion
• Broken down by oxygen acquired through Respiration
• Carried to the rest of the body by Transportation
• We get rid of waste by Excretion
