The life process may be defined as the different process that are important for the sustenance of life. The most important life process are nutrition, respiration, excretion and transportation.

If the mouse is placed in the closed sealed container then the weight will remain before and after the experiment of 1 or 2 week. This is because the life process metabolic reactions will use and conserve all the atoms involved in the life process. These atoms can exist in the liquid, solid and gas forms but present inside the container.
