which of the following best describes respiration?
splitting of atmospheric nitrogen atoms to bond with oxygen
release of water vapor
intake of oxygen to convert glucose to energy
absorption of light by chlorophyll

Explanation:

Respiration is a process where organisms take in oxygen and use it to convert glucose into energy. Splitting of nitrogen - oxygen bonding is related to nitrogen - cycle processes, release of water vapor is part of transpiration or evaporation, and absorption of light by chlorophyll is related to photosynthesis.

Answer:

Intake of oxygen to convert glucose to energy
