1 answer

Based on your description of a process that is vital for energy production and transfer, the correct answer would be:

c. The cellular process is photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, utilizing carbon dioxide and water. This process is essential for energy production in these organisms and forms the basis of food chains.
