Question

People and trees are both living.

Person - SmallTree - Large

Which life processes occur in both people and trees?

a
growth and movement
b
making food and growth
c
reproduction and making food
d
germination and reproduction

Answer 1

The correct answer is **a) growth and movement**.

Both people and trees exhibit growth as they develop and increase in size over time. Additionally, while trees may not move in the same way people do, they can exhibit movement through processes like phototropism (growing towards light) and water movement in their tissues.

Here’s a brief overview of why the other options are less appropriate:
- **b) making food and growth:** Only trees can make their own food through photosynthesis, while people cannot.
- **c) reproduction and making food:** Again, only trees can make food. Both can reproduce, but the context of making food makes this option incorrect.
- **d) germination and reproduction:** Germination is specific to plants (like trees) and does not apply to people.

So, option a is the best choice.
