Refer to the figure below. What process is depicted in this figure? A) The movement of molecules linking the light reactions and the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis B) The recovery of some of the fixed carbon that is channeled away by photorespiration C) The fixation of carbon by C₄ plants in a location separate from the Calvin cycle D) The fixation of carbon by CAM plants during the night, when stomata are open E) The production of hexose sugars, disaccharides, and polysaccharides following Calvin cycle reactions

Question

The figure depicts the process of photorespiration, which occurs when the enzyme Rubisco fixes oxygen instead of carbon dioxide. This results in the loss of some of the fixed carbon, which is then recovered through photorespiration.
