question 74:
_______ is a breaking - down plant process in which stored food reserves in
the plant are converted into energy.
a. 12
b. 16
c. preservative
d. respiration
e. transpiration

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Options A (12) and B (16) are numbers, irrelevant to the plant process described.
• Option C (Preservative) refers to a substance for preservation, not a plant process.
• Option D (Respiration): In plants, respiration is the process where stored food (like glucose) is broken down to release energy (ATP), matching the description.
• Option E (Transpiration): This is the loss of water vapor from plants, not related to converting stored food to energy.

Answer:

D. Respiration
