Definition of Prose. Prose is a communicative style that sounds natural and uses grammatical structure. Prose is the opposite of verse, or poetry, which employs a rhythmic structure that does not mimic ordinary speech.
Respiration. Respiration is a biochemical process that converts food into energy with oxygen, and it takes place inside the cells of all living beings. In respiration, the biochemical energy of food is converted into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and carbon dioxide using oxygen.
Through photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide and create oxygen. This means that respiration can be thought of as photosynthesis in reverse. One major difference between the two is that plants respire constantly, but only photosynthesize when they are in the light. In dark conditions, a plant would respire, but not photosynthesize.
