A. fermentation
B. cellular respiration
C. photosynthesis
D. digestion

Answer 1

c

Answer 2

It is cellular respiration. The energy in sugar (e.g. from the foods you eat) is released for use, using the oxygen you inhale and producing the carbon dioxide you exhale (in addition to water).

Photosynthesis is the reverse process performed by plants (and various bacteria), where they combine CO2 and H2O along with energy from the sun to produce their own food (i.e. sugars) and O2 as a byproduct.
