Use remember to state that organisms need energy for movement in your answers. Use examples like animals running or plants growing towards light to illustrate this. Link your answer to Aerobic and anaerobic respiration in Respiration, and keep the biology specific to state. This helps reinforce the concept that energy is essential for various life processes, making your answers more comprehensive and relatable. This keeps revision aligned with the approved learning objective on state that organisms need energy for movement.
