Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Respiration is the process by which organisms break down carbohydrates to produce energy. During respiration, carbohydrates are combined with atmospheric oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. Transpiration is the process by which plants release water vapor through their leaves, evaporation is the process by which a liquid turns into a gas, carbonation is the process by which carbon dioxide is dissolved in water to form carbonic acid, and evapotranspiration is the combined process of evaporation and transpiration.
