Explanation of Solution

Energy: Energy in the simpler terms can be described as the ability to do work. It exists in various forms such as kinetic, potential, electrical, thermal, chemical, nuclear, etc.

Thermodynamics: It is a branch of science that deals with heat energy. It describes how heat energy can be transformed into other forms of energy and

Metabolism: Metabolic activity or metabolism is defined as the overall chemical reactions taking place in the body of the organism.

Photosynthesis: Photosynthesis is the reaction in which plants synthesize carbohydrates and form carbon dioxide and water with the help of chlorophyll and sunlight.

Cellular respiration: The cellular respiration is the process by which glucose is utilized by the cells to make the energy molecules and in this process, carbon dioxide is generated as the by-product.

Adenosine triphosphate: ATP or adenosine triphosphate is an organic molecule, which is responsible for the supplying of energy during different metabolic processes. It is a molecule present in all types of cells and are utilized during anabolic processes and are released during catabolic processes. It is also known as the energy currency of the cells.
