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.
Inside their cells, energy is extracted from the food in a process called cellular respiration. Cellular respiration requires oxygen (which is the by-product of photosynthesis) and it produces carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. In this way, photosynthesis and cellular respiration are linked in the carbon cycle.
