The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

$ATP$ molecules are synthesized with the help of energy liberated during oxidation of reduced coenzymes $(NADH, FADH_2)$ produced in respiration. This is called oxidative phosphorylation and it takes place in mitochondria. The enzyme $ATP$ synthase is required for this synthesis. $ATP$ synthase is located in $F_1$ or head piece of $F_0-F_1$ or elementary particles. The particles are present in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Respiration in Plants

Respiration in plants is a process that entails the production of energy in plants. This process can simply be described as the intake of Oxygen and the release of Carbon Dioxide as an outcome of the oxidation of complex organic compounds. Though plants do not have any specific organ to balance the process of respiration, their stems, roots, and leaves do this work at a very low rate than other living beings. The process of respiration is very crucial for the plants to sustain the growth of the plant tissues.

This process can be stated as-

\[C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2 → 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + \text{Energy}\]
