Living things are identifiable by:
- movement (even cellular or internal movement)
- growth and development
- response to stimuli
- reproduction
- use of energy
- cellular structure
Answer: Photosynthesis is a process through which green plants prepare their food by using carbon dioxide and water as reactants in the presence of sunlight energy. The food produced in the form of carbohydrate. Respiration is the process in which the biochemical oxidation of the food occurs.
Explanation:
The plant structures like leaves are specialized for performing the process of photosynthesis. These leaves have chlorophyll pigment which traps the light energy from sun which is required for splitting the molecules of water in the process of photosynthesis. Respiration occurs through stomata in leaves. But it also occurs in stems through lenticels and in specialized roots called pneumatophores via tiny pores.
Sexual reproduction would help the most because the offspring are genetically varied more than other types of reproduction and are more likely to adapt and survive.
