RESPIRATION

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

Detailed explanation-1: -During photosynthesis, plants use light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds. Respiration in plants involves the usage of sugars that are produced during the process of photosynthesis and produce energy for the growth of the plant.

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: -Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product. Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by-products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.

Detailed explanation-4: -Respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen to form water and carbon dioxide to breakdown glucose and release energy. Respiration does not require sunlight and chlorophyll, photosynthesis requires these. Therefore this statement is false.

Detailed explanation-5: -Final answer :The given statement is true.
