the names of life processes ... Movement Respiration Sensitivity Nutrition Excretion Growth
(Mrs Nerg)

Harley Hills, my tenth grade biology teacher (1956), gave us a slightly different order:

Dr Grime = digestion, respiration, growth, reproduction, irritability, motion, excretion.

Slight differences - digestion/nutrition; irritability/sensitivity; motion/movement - but basically life goes on, doing the same things fifty years later...
