Which is incorrect with reference to chloroplast?

  • A
    Presence in algae and plants
  • B
    Releases $\mathrm{O}_2$
  • Correct answer
    C
    Occurs only in cells with aerobic respiration
  • D
    None 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'.
