Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The process of respiration in plants involves using the sugars produced during photosynthesis plus oxygen to produce energy for plant growth. In the process of photosynthesis, the produced sugar is stored, transported throughout the tree, and transformed into energy which is used to power all cellular processes. Respiration happens only when glucose (sugar produced in photosynthesis) combines with oxygen to form usable cellular energy. So, the process of respiration in plants involves using the sugars produced in photosynthesis, also oxygen to produce energy for plant growth. Also, respiration is the opposite process of photosynthesis.
