Plants photosynthesize during daytime and respire during the night. Do you agree with this statement? Why? Why not? (AS1)

No, I don't agree with the statement. Though photosynthesis takes place in presence light only. But respiration occurs in all the living cells all the time whether it is day or night. Therefore, a plant respires all the time and photosynthesis in plants occurs only during day time.
