fermentation process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen
suffixes suffixes are endings added to a word to change the meaning of a word. when the suffix tion is added to a word, the meaning \action\ or \act of\ is added to the word. so fermentation is the \act of fermenting.\ ✓ make a list of three other scientific words that have -tion as a suffix.

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall scientific terms with the "-tion" suffix. We think of terms related to scientific processes.

1. Respiration: The process of gas exchange (or cellular respiration, the process of releasing energy from glucose). The root is "respire", and adding "-tion" gives "respiration" (act of respiring).
2. Photosynthesis: The process by which plants make food using light. The root is related to "photosynthesize", and "-tion" makes it "photosynthesis" (act of photosynthesizing).
3. Digestion: The process of breaking down food. The root is "digest", and adding "-tion" gives "digestion" (act of digesting).

These terms are scientific and follow the "-tion" suffix rule (adding meaning of "action" or "act of" to the root word).

Answer:

1. Respiration (process of gas exchange/cellular energy release)
2. Photosynthesis (process of plant food production)
3. Digestion (process of food breakdown)
