Answer:

Option 2 is not true (Cellular respiration occurs in the chloroplast in plant cells)

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts, whereas cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria. Photosynthesis makes glucose and oxygen, which are then used as the starting products for cellular respiration. Therefore, cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria in plants, not in chloroplasts.

Hope it helps :)

Have a great day!
