Detailed Solution

Both statements are inaccurate.

Statement I: Not all cells, tissues, and organs in green plants photosynthesize. While photosynthesis primarily occurs in the chloroplasts of green plant cells, not all cells contain chloroplasts. For instance, roots, stems, and non-green tissues like flowers do not typically photosynthesize.

Statement II: All organs, tissues, and cells of green plants require food for oxidation. While photosynthesis is the primary means by which green plants produce food (glucose), not all cells can perform photosynthesis. Non-photosynthetic tissues and organs rely on glucose produced by photosynthetic tissues or absorbed from the soil via roots for energy through cellular respiration.
