Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct. -cellular respirations-is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products. combustion -the process of burning something |
