processes of plant growth (matching)1. photosynthesis2. respiration3. absorption4. transpiration5. translocation6. reproductiona. the process by which plant roots take in water and airb. the process by which food and nutrients are moved within a plant from one plant part to anotherc. the plant process that increases plant numbersd. the process by which plants lose water from leaves and stems through evaporatione. the food and manufacturing proces in green plants that combine carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light to make sugar and oxygen.f. the process by which plant leaves stems, and roots consume oxyger and give off carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

Each plant process is matched to its correct definition based on core biological functions:

1. Photosynthesis is the food-making process in green plants using light, CO₂, and water.
2. Respiration is the process where plant parts consume oxygen and release CO₂ to produce energy.
3. Absorption is the uptake of water/air by plant roots.
4. Transpiration is the loss of water from plant aerial parts via evaporation.
5. Translocation is the movement of food and nutrients between plant parts.
6. Reproduction is the process that increases the number of plants.

Answer:

1. Photosynthesis - E. The food and manufacturing process in green plants that combine carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light to make sugar and oxygen.
2. Respiration - F. The process by which plant leaves, stems, and roots consume oxygen and give off carbon dioxide.
3. Absorption - A. The process by which plant roots take in water and air
4. Transpiration - D. The process by which plants lose water from leaves and stems through evaporation
5. Translocation - B. The process by which food and nutrients are moved within a plant from one plant part to another
6. Reproduction - C. The plant process that increases plant numbers
