Photorespiration (With Diagram) | Plants
Respiration that is initiated in chloroplasts and occurs in light only is called photorespiration. Photorespiration or Glycolate Pathway: It is interesting to know that in the plants possessing Calvin cycle, the enzyme RuBP carboxylase can initiate the reversal of photosynthetic reactions. This process occurs when there is low CO2, concentration but high O2, concentration. At mid-day, when temperature and CO2 [...]
