Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This process is known as respiration. During respiration, glucose and oxygen are consumed to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP. Photosynthesis is the opposite process, where carbon dioxide and water are used to produce glucose and oxygen, and occurs in chloroplasts. Biomass refers to the total organic matter of living organisms.
