Question

Mark T if the statement is True and F if it is False.

Plants carry out photosynthesis only during the day and respiration only at night.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Photosynthesis & Respiration in plants:

1. Plants breathe at all times of the day and night.
2. Photosynthesis and respiration occur throughout the day, whereas only respiration and dark processes occur at night.
3. Respiration is a metabolic process in which an organism's living cells use oxygen to obtain energy (in the form of ATP) and release carbon dioxide as a byproduct of the oxidation of complex organic molecules.
4. Respiration happens throughout the day, whereas photosynthesis occurs only during the day when sunlight is present.
5. As a result, plants' breathing becomes visible at night.

Final answer: The given statement is false.
