Explain explicitly the steps of photorespiration in plants (100)
​

Explanation:

Photorespiration is a process which involves loss of fixed carbon as CO2

​

 in plants in the presence of light. It is initiated in chloroplasts. This process does not produce ATP or NADPH and is a wasteful process.

Photorespiration occurs usually when there is the high concentration of oxygen. Under such circumstances, RuBisCO, the enzyme that catalyses the carboxylation of RuBP during the first step of Calvin cycle, functions as an oxygenase. Some O2  does bind to RuBisCO and hence CO2  fixation is decreased. The RuBP binds with O2  to form one molecule of PGA (3C compound) and phosphoglycolate (2C compound ) in the pathway of photorespiration. There is neither the synthesis sugar nor of ATP. Rather, it results in the release of CO 2 with the utilisation of ATP. It leads to a 25 percent loss of the fixed CO2

​

Significance of photorespiration:

Photorespiration helps in dissipation of energy where stomata get closed during daytime because of water stress.

Photorespiration protects the plant from photoxidative damage by dissipating excess of excitation energy

the second type of galaxy is called a barred spiral, which has a thing called a bar straddling the nucleus

hello

answer: collecting information/data

reason: the student is going around and asking people questions to collect data

i hope this
