Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
True or False:Plants do both cell respiration and photosynthesis.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants, like animals, take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide during respiration. Only during photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen as a byproduct.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants carry out both photosynthesis and cellular respiration. They make their own food, and then break down those glucose molecules later, generating ATP to power their cellular processes.

Detailed explanation-3: -In daylight, plants are both respiring and photosynthesising, so oxygen and carbon dioxide are diffusing in and out of the leaves.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are biological processes in which matter and energy flow through the biosphere. These two processes are responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between living organisms and the environment.
