Photorespiration is a metabolic process occurring in C3 plants, which is dependent on light and results in evolution of ${\mathrm{C}\mathrm{O}}_2$ . Rubisco enzyme catalyses fixation of ${\mathrm{O}}_2$ instead of ${\mathrm{C}\mathrm{O}}_2$ fixation which occurs during dark phase of photosynthesis. During this process 3-phosphoglycerate and 2-phosphoglycolate are formed, out of which 2-phosphoglycolate are not useful to the plants and it might interfere in functioning of chloroplast. Overall photorespiration pathway involves movement of intermediate metabolites in various cell organelles.
