Question

Process in which the breakdown of sugars in living things returns carbon to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide_____.

hintHint:

Green plants utilise sun energy to convert atmospheric carbon dioxide into carbohydrates through a process known as photosynthesis (sugars).

The correct answer is: Respiration


    • In a process known as cellular respiration, autotrophs and heterotrophs break down carbon-containing compounds like sugars to liberate the energy they contain.
    • The carbons in the molecule are liberated as carbon dioxide during this reaction.
