Question

Which of the following statements is/are FALSE, about Photosynthesis in plant cells!

1. While carrying out photosynthesis in the chloroplasts, the plant is also carrying out cellular respiration.
2. Photosynthesis in plant cells produces O₂, while cellular respiration releases CO₂.
3. During this lab, you measured the net rate of gas exchange, for the combined processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
4. The CO₂ for photosynthesis is supplied in this experiment by sodium bicarbonate dissolved in water (Sodium Bicarbonate solution).
O All of these are FALSE
O Only #4 is FALSE
O Only #1 and #3 are FALSE
O Only #3 is FALSE
O None of these are FALSE

Answer 1

The only false statement is #3

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is: Only #3 is FALSE.

Statement 1 is true; while carrying out photosynthesis in the chloroplasts, the plant is also carrying out cellular respiration to produce ATP.

Statement 2 is true; photosynthesis in plant cells produces O₂, while cellular respiration releases CO₂.

Statement 3 is false; the lab measured the net rate of gas exchange, which means it took into account both photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Statement 4 is true; in the experiment, CO₂ for photosynthesis is supplied by sodium bicarbonate dissolved in water.
