Photorespiration A) results in CO₂ fixation. B) uses ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions. C) generates a proton gradient. D) results in the synthesis of glucose. E) All of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Photorespiration is a process that occurs in plants when there is a shortage of CO2 in the surrounding air. It involves the breakdown of a sugar molecule that was produced in the light reactions, using ATP and NADPH as energy. This process does not result in the synthesis of glucose and does not generate a proton gradient.
