The answer is storage

The correct answer is C. Storage.

Explanation

Plants are autotrophic organisms, that is, they make their food. In the case of plants, its main source of food is the sunlight that it acquires through its leaves, and the water and nutrients it acquires through its roots. On the other hand, the plants have fleshy tissue that functions as storage for substances that are useful for their growth and life, to avoid their involvement in unfavorable periods in which there is not so much sunlight or the soil does not provide the necessary nutrients. So, the correct answer is C. Storage.

before, trains worked using the steam engine. thus, it uses heat so it is crucial to apply heat balance. the steam engine absorbs energy during the stage of boiling water. so, this is the endothermic reaction. when the steam is used to work the piston, it has to release this energy through running the train. the excess energy is released as an exhaust to the chimney. this is the exothermic process because it releases energy to the surroundings.
