Solution

The processes in corn plants that require the transfer of carbon dioxide to or from the atmosphere are:

  1. Photosynthesis: This is the process by which green plants, including corn, use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of carbon dioxide and water. In this process, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is absorbed by the plant and used to produce glucose, which is a type of sugar that the plant uses for energy. Oxygen is released as a byproduct.

  2. Respiration: This is the process by which plants, including corn, break down glucose to release energy. This process requires oxygen and produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct, which is then released back into the atmosphere.

Transpiration and pollination do not involve the transfer of carbon dioxide. Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers. Pollination is the transfer of pollen from a male part of a plant to a female part of a plant, enabling fertilization and the production of seeds.
