The following life processes are common to both
plants and animals except
Answer Details
The correct answer is "photosynthesis."
Plants carry out photosynthesis to produce food (glucose) using light energy, carbon dioxide, and water. This process does not occur in animals, so it is not a life process common to both plants and animals.
Respiration, growth, and reproduction are all life processes that occur in both plants and animals. Respiration involves the breakdown of food molecules to release energy, growth refers to an increase in size or number of cells, and reproduction involves the production of offspring.
