photosynthesis
B
cellular respiration
C
diffusion
D
osmosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Cellular respiration is the process by which organisms use oxygen to break down food molecules to get chemical energy for cell functions. Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of animals, plants, and fungi, and also in algae and other protists.

Detailed explanation-3: -During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Energy released during the reaction is captured by the energy-carrying molecule ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration is the aerobic process by which living cells break down glucose molecules, release energy, and form molecules of ATP .
