definitions

a. the movement of water through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, primarily from leaves.

b. the process in chloroplasts where plants use sunlight, co₂, and water to produce glucose and oxygen.

c. distinct layers of soil (o, a, b, c, r) that differ in physical and chemical properties.

d. essential plant nutrients required in large quantities, specifically nitrogen (n), phosphorus (p), and potassium (k).

e. the cellular process in mitochondria that breaks down glucose to release energy (atp) for growth and maintenance.

Explanation:

1. Photosynthesis: The process in chloroplasts where plants use sunlight, CO₂, and water to produce glucose and oxygen matches option B.
2. Respiration: The cellular process in mitochondria that breaks down glucose to release energy (ATP) for growth and maintenance matches option E.
3. Macronutrient: Essential plant nutrients required in large quantities, specifically Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K) matches option D.
4. Transpiration: The movement of water through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, primarily from leaves matches option A.
5. Soil Horizons: Distinct layers of soil (O, A, B, C, R) that differ in physical and chemical properties matches option C.

Answer:

1. Photosynthesis: B
2. Respiration: E
3. Macronutrient: D
