Photorespiration in plants involves the ________. A)fixation of carbon dioxide to a four-carbon acid B)light-dependent uptake of O₂ catalyzed by rubisco,followed by the release of CO₂ C)reduction of surface-exposed disulfides in the regulation of rubisco D)exclusive fixation of carbon dioxide at night by plants such as cacti

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Photorespiration in plants involves the uptake of oxygen (O2) catalyzed by rubisco during the light-dependent reactions, which leads to the release of carbon dioxide (CO2). This process is often considered wasteful and occurs frequently in C3 plants.
