We can determine if something is a living thing by seeing if they show some of the living characteristics. These characteristics include:

Reproduction - to make more of the same organism
Sensitivity - the ability to detect and react to stimuli
Nutrition - eat and digest food.
Movement - the ability to change its position or location
Respire - to breathe / gas exchange
Excretion - get rid of toxic / materials in excess

All living things show the characteristics above. 

For example, we can be sure that robots are not living things because they cannot excrete, respire, or reproduce even if they can move and sense stimuli from outside. We can also be sure that plants are living because they show all characteristics, even for movement, we don't obviously see that, but for example, they may grow towards a light source.

what would be the most likely effect on cellular respiration if a plant were to lose much of its cjhlorophylkl
goldenfox [79]

Cellular respiration would produce less energy when plant were to lose much of its chlorophyll.

Plants can actually live longer without photosynthesis than they can without respiration. Some plants survive half the year without performing photosynthesis, but if they stop performing cellular respiration, even for a minute, they would be dead where they stand.

During photosynthesis, plants absorb sunlight and carbon dioxide from the air. Through a series of steps, much like cellular respiration, they convert these reactants into the products oxygen and glucose. The plants then can use the oxygen and glucose to make ATP in cellular respiration. The rate of respiration is greater than the rate of photosynthesis. So this means there is an overall excess of carbon dioxide is produced during respiration.
