Which is incorrect with reference to chloroplast?
- APresence in algae and plants
- BReleases $\mathrm{O}_2$
- Correct answerCOccurs only in cells with aerobic respiration
- DNone of the above
Solution
Option (3) is incorrect about chloroplasts. They are spherical, ovoid or disc-shaped cell organelles. These are found in plants and algae. They are involved in photosynthesis due to the presence of chlorophyll in them. During photosynthesis, $\mathrm{O}_2$ is released. They are not associated with any type of respiration, i.e. aerobic and anaerobic and can be found in any type of cell.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
