Green plants utilize solar energy through (photosynthesis, the kreb cycle, respiration) and release energy through (photosynthesis, respiration, the kreb cycle) .

Green plants utilize solar energy through photosynthesis and release energy through respiration.

Photosynthesis is the process specified for plants when they use energy from light to convert water and carbon dioxide molecules into glucose and oxygen.

Respiration can be considered as the opposite procces that occurs when glucose combines with oxygen to produce useable cellular energy. Plants takes in glucose and oxygen, release carbon dioxide and water and releases energy.
