Best Answer

photorespiration is when too much oxygen is build up from the light reactions. eventually the amount of oxygen surpasses the amount of carbon dioxide produced from the calvin cycle .

phtorespiration is a bad since ATP is only spended , but it can buy the plant time, becuase it is still able to build glucose into photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis produces oxygen waste when it creates sugars from water and carbon dioxide. However, occasionally it messes up, and add oxygen instead. Photorespiration attempts to fix this a little by getting rid of the oxygenated molecules.

Photosynthesis is the process in which plant made its food with the help of chlorophyll and sunlight

but when plants respire they only exchange gases to environment

Why is photorespiration such a waste?

Photorespiration is a wasteful process because: i. About 25 % of the CO2 fixed during photosynthesis is lost ii. There is no formation of ATP & NADH


Which takes plae in the chloroplast?

Major process is photosynthesis. Also involve in photorespiration


What function does the chloroplast of a flower do?

That is same in all. Carryout photosynthesis. Also involve in photorespiration


Where is Photorespiration located?

Photorespiration involves three different organelles--- chloroplasts, peroxisomes and mitochondria


What has the author Israel Zelitch written?

Israel Zelitch has written: 'Photosynthesis, photorespiration, and plant productivity' -- subject(s): Photosynthesis, Plants, Respiration


What is the major consequence of photorespiration?

it lowers the efficiency of photosynthesis by removing carbon molecules from the Calvin cycle.


Can tomato plants show photo respiration?

No, tomato plants do not undergo photorespiration. Photorespiration is a process that occurs in C3 plants, where oxygen is mistakenly used instead of carbon dioxide in the initial steps of photosynthesis. However, tomato plants are classified as C4 plants, which have evolved mechanisms to minimize photorespiration.


What would happen in a chloroplast containing an unusual form of rubisco that did not bind oxygen?

Photosynthesis would occur but photorespiration would not.


What is the process that takes place in a chloroplast?

Photosynthesis is the main purpose.Some other rections like photorespiration and protein synthesis also take place.


What does the choloroplast do for a cell?

Chloroplast is the site of photosynthesis. It produces glucose using CO2 and water.It also conuct photorespiration and produce some enzymes


What is the difference between photorespiration and respiration?

photorespiration: RuBP accepts oxygen instead of CO2 during photosynthesis because production of oxygen has exceeded production of CO2. respiration: Oxygen is produced in oxidative phosphorylation/chemisosmosis and used to produce water during respiration.


The alternative pathways of photosynthesis using the C4 or CAM systems are said to be compromises Why?

Each one both minimises photorespiration and optimises the Calvin cycle.
