Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is false. This is because plants perform both photosynthesis and cellular respiration. The process of photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.
Detailed explanation-2: -Many people believe that plants undergo photosynthesis and animals undergo respiration. Really, plants do both! Plants simply undergo photosynthesis first as a way to make glucose. Animals don’t need to photosynthesize since they get their glucose from the food they eat.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are direct opposite reactions. Energy from the sun enters a plant and is converted into glucose during photosynthesis. Some of the energy is used to make ATP in the mitochondria during cellular respiration, and some is lost to the environment as heat.
