Can you provide the answers to the fill-in-the-blanks and short answer questions about the characteristics of living things?

Here are the answers to the legible questions from the image:

B. Fill in the blanks:

1. A tree is a living thing, but has simple daily movements.
2. All living things need food.
3. Cells are made of protoplasm.
4. A change in an organism's environment is called a stimulus.
5. Both birth and death are the sequence of events in a living thing's life.
6. Living things give off waste products through excretion.
7. A cell is a tiny, simple living thing.
8. Living things respond to changes in their environment.
9. Plants make their own food through photosynthesis.
10. Living things reproduce through reproduction.

C. Short answer questions:

1. Growth is the irreversible increase in the size, mass, and complexity of an organism over time.
2. Photosynthesis is the process used by green plants and some other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy, producing food (sugars) from carbon dioxide and water.
3. Plants prepare their food through the process of photosynthesis. They use sunlight as an energy source, absorb water from the soil through their roots, and take in carbon dioxide from the air through small pores called stomata on their leaves. Inside their leaves, chlorophyll captures sunlight, which powers the conversion of water and carbon dioxide into glucose (food) and oxygen.
4. Living things need food for several essential reasons:
   • To obtain energy for all life processes, such as movement, growth, and reproduction.
   • To get the necessary nutrients for growth and development.
   • To repair damaged cells and tissues.
   • To maintain body temperature and other vital functions.
