---

Explanation of the Solution:



1. There are seven life processes that all living things share.
- The number "seven" is a key part of the acronym "Mrs. Nerg," which helps students remember the seven life processes.

2. They are remembered by the name 'Mrs. Nerg'. The seven life processes are movement, respiration, nutrition, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, and excretion.
- The acronym "Mrs. Nerg" stands for:
- Movement
- Respiration
- Nutrition
- Excretion
- Reproduction
- Growth
- Sensitivity
- These are the fundamental life processes shared by all living organisms.

3. All animals and plants can move and reproduce.
- Both animals and plants exhibit the life processes of movement (e.g., animals move, and plants grow towards light) and reproduction (e.g., animals have offspring, and plants produce seeds).

4. All living things need nutrition.
- Nutrition refers to the process of obtaining and using food for energy, growth, and repair. All living organisms require nutrients to survive.

5. Plants make their own food through their leaves.
- Plants use photosynthesis to produce their own food (glucose) in their leaves, using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.

6. Animals and humans eat different foods, depending on whether they are omnivores, herbivores, or carnivores.
- Omnivores eat both plants and animals, herbivores eat only plants, and carnivores eat only animals.

7. Excretion is the ability to get rid of waste.
- Excretion is the process of removing waste products from the body, such as carbon dioxide, urine, and feces.
