Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Explain why this statement is incorrect:“Plants create energy through photosynthesis
A
Plants create energy through respiration.
B
plants need food
C
plants make there own energy
D
plants need sun only
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -They are related also because they are dependent on each other. The product of photosynthesis i.e., glucose (food) is utilised in respiration to yield energy (ATP). Which doing so, it releases many other simple molecules (CO2+H2O) which are utilised in photosynthesis to produce more sugers. Q.

Detailed explanation-2: -This statement is false. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are complementary processes; photosynthesis makes glucose using energy in sunlight, and cellular respiration then breaks down glucose to release energy. Though it is true that animals do not perform photosynthesis, photosynthesis is not unique to plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -In this process of cellular respiration, plants generate glucose molecules through photosynthesis by capturing energy from sunlight and converting it into glucose. Several live experiments demonstrate the breathing of plants. All plants respire to provide energy for their cells to be active or alive.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct option is B False. Photosynthesis & Respiration in plants: Plants breathe at all times of the day and night. Photosynthesis and respiration occur throughout the day, whereas only respiration and dark processes occur at night.
