Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Chloroplast need sunlight to carry process respiration
A
true
B
false
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Answer and Explanation: 1) The aerobic stages of respiration take place in the chloroplasts of the cell: The statement is false. 2) The aerobic stages of respiration take place in the mitochondria of the cell: The statement is true.

Detailed explanation-3: -The unifying term chloroplast respiration is introduced to account for those reactions in which reduced ferredoxin interacts with physiological acceptors other than NADP or nitrite, hydrogen, or O2 respiration when nitrite, protons, or O2 is the ultimate electron acceptor.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants use a process called photosynthesis to make food. During photosynthesis, plants trap light energy with their leaves. Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose. Glucose is used by plants for energy and to make other substances like cellulose and starch.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sunlight is one of the important requirements to carry out photosynthesis by plants. As photosynthesis is carried out in two phases i.e., light and dark phase so, in the light phase, energy from the sunlight is used to split the water molecule which releases two electrons that are used to form NADPH and ATP molecules.
