Match each term to its best definition:

Terms:

- Photosynthesis

- Cellular respiration

- Transcription

- Translation

Definitions:

- The process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose

- The process by which cells obtain energy by breaking down organic molecules such as glucose

- The process by which information encoded in a gene's DNA is copied into a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA)

- The process by which proteins are synthesized at the ribosome of a cell
