Respiration
A
Process by which a plant gives up water vapor to the atmosphere.
B
A series of processes in which solar energy is converted to chemical energy.
C
Process by which living cells take in oxygen and give off Carbon Dioxide.
D
Study of how these organs function and the complex chemical processes that permit the plant to live, grow and reproduce.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of all organisms. In the cell, the food (glucose) is broken down into carbon dioxide and water using oxygen. When breakdown of glucose occurs with the use of oxygen it is called aerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -cellular respiration, the process by which organisms combine oxygen with foodstuff molecules, diverting the chemical energy in these substances into life-sustaining activities and discarding, as waste products, carbon dioxide and water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration is a series of chemical reactions that break down glucose to produce ATP, which may be used as energy to power many reactions throughout the body. There are three main steps of cellular respiration: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Aerobic respiration, as the name suggests, is the process of producing the energy required by cells using oxygen. The by-product of this process produces carbon dioxide along with ATP – the energy currency of the cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -During the process of cellular respiration, carbon dioxide is given off as a waste product. This carbon dioxide can be used by photosynthesizing cells to form new carbohydrates. Also in the process of cellular respiration, oxygen gas is required to serve as an acceptor of electrons.
