ur answer.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

• Life processes are processes which help us maintain our life on the earth.
• The processes known as life processes include respiration, excretion, digestion, nutrition, etc.
• Rather than these, reproduction is also process but it is not considered as a life process because it is not necessary to sustain a life.
• Reproduction is the process by which living organisms produce new individuals of same species for the continuation and the survival of the species.
• That is why it is not considered as a life process.

• Sexual: It involves two parents and their is a process called fertilization where the gametes fuse to produce a zygote.

Answer 2

$\Huge{\sf Life \ Processes }$

• Respiration is the process of oxidative destruction of the respiratory substrate to produce energy

• The human body can use the energy for a wide range of activities like growth of the body, repair of the damaged cells and maintenance of the body on an overall

• Given all this, respiration is indeed a vital process in the human body

Importance of reproduction to an organism can't be undermined from the above arguments as :

• Reproduction ensures the perpetuation of species

• Reproduction also replaces the dead ones

• It ensures variations in sexually reproducing organisms, providing them with the benefit of adapting to harsher climates

I conclude,

Every process has it's own importance
