Question

Topic: Respiration in Organisms

Answer 1

$\textbf{False}$

Phosynthesis can occur only in day time, but respiration can occur at both day and night time.

Answer 2

Photosynthesis is associated with the green plants and this phenomenon happens during the day time in the presence of sunlight.

The green plants absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide to produce oxygen.

During nights the sunlight is absent and hence photosynthesis does not take place. Plants absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
