Answer
A is False and R is True.
Explanation
Phosphorylation, the process of adding a phosphate group to a molecule (like ADP to form ATP), occurs during both respiration and photosynthesis. In respiration, this process is called oxidative phosphorylation, while in photosynthesis, it is called photophosphorylation.
