Plants assimilate energy through the process of

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plants assimilate energy through the process of photosynthesis, where they use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to create glucose and release oxygen.

Choice A (decomposition) is incorrect because decomposition is the breakdown of organic matter by bacteria and fungi, not the assimilation of energy by plants.

Choice B (respiration) is also incorrect because while respiration is a process by which plants (and other organisms) generate energy, it is not how plants assimilate energy. Respiration involves breaking down glucose into energy in the presence of oxygen.

Choice D (regeneration) is incorrect because regeneration refers to the regrowth of a plant or part of a plant, and not the process of assimilating energy.
