These valves (more generally called the atrioventricular valves) are there to prevent back flow of blood from the ventricles to the atria when the ventricles contract. The same thing happens in both of them:

As the ventricles contract, the pressure in the ventricles increases. This, due to the fact that the valves are one way valves, causes the tricuspid and mitral valves to clamp shut. Then, as the ventricles keep on contracting, and blood is pushed upwards, is it prevented from travelling back into the atria and must travel out of the semilunar valves, through to the aorta and pulmonary artery and out of the hear.

Bumek [7]

Answer:

A. Cellular respiration

C. Photosynthesis

Explanation:

There are two main processes occurs in the carbon cycle i.e. cellular respiration and photosynthesis. Plants absorb carbondioxide gas from the atmosphere through small openings called stomata. The carbondioxide enters the leaves and combine with water produces glucose and oxygen. Glucose is stored in different parts of plant whereas some oxygen is used by the plant and the remaining oxygen is releases in the atmosphere while on the other hand, in cellular respiration, glucose is broken down to produce energy in the form of ATP, carbondioxide gas and water.
