Respiration:
Breath in and breath out
Precipitation:

Explanation:
1) Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers. Water is necessary for plants but only a small amount of water taken up by the roots is used for growth and metabolism.
2) Evaporation is defined as the process in which the state of water from liquid to gaseous or to vapour state takes place.
3) Respiration is taking a breath or the act of breathing. An example of respiration is inhaling and exhaling air. ... In fish and many invertebrates, respiration takes place through the gills. Respiration in green plants occurs during photosynthesis.
4) Precipitation is water released from clouds in the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail. It is the primary connection in the water cycle that provides for the delivery of atmospheric water to the Earth. Most precipitation falls as rain.
