The oxygenation activity of RuBisCO enzyme in photorespiration leads to the formation of

Question

The oxygenation activity of RuBisCO enzyme in photorespiration leads to the formation of, 1 molecule of 3-C compound and 1 molecule of a 2-C compound, 1 molecule of 6-C compound, 1 molecule of 4-C compound and 1 molecule of 2-C compound, 2 molecules of 3-C compound

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

C 2 cycle or glycolate pathway operates during the daytime in C 3 plants & RuBisCO acts as oxygenase at higher concentration of O 2 and low CO 2 concentration in the C 3 -green cells. The light-dependent uptake of O 2 & release of CO 2 in C 3 photosynthetic cells is called photorespiration.
