Plant cells only perform photosynthesis and DO NOT perform cellular respiration.

Question 11 options:
True
False

1 answer

False.

Plant cells perform both photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts where plants convert light energy into chemical energy (glucose) using carbon dioxide and water. Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria, where the glucose produced during photosynthesis is broken down to release energy for the cell to use.
