KnowraPhotorespirationLinked fromLinked fromThe 12 pages that link to Photorespiration, each with the reason it gives.All 12Related 9Compared with 3ChloroplastRelated: It occurs in chloroplast-centered metabolism and can reduce photosynthetic efficiency.C4 carbon fixationRelated: Reducing this wasteful reaction is the main advantage of C4 carbon concentration.Crassulacean acid metabolismRelated: Concentrating carbon dioxide around Rubisco can limit this wasteful reaction.CAM photosynthesisRelated: CAM’s internal carbon dioxide supply can limit Rubisco’s oxygen reaction in daylight.C3 carbon fixationRelated: It diverts Rubisco activity from carbon fixation and consumes energy.RuBisCORelated: It results from RuBisCO’s competing oxygenase activity.Biological carbon fixationRelated: It wastes energy and releases previously fixed carbon, limiting photosynthetic productivity.Glyoxylic acidRelated: Photorespiratory metabolism produces glyoxylate from glycolate.Mesophyll cellsRelated: It can reduce carbon fixation in mesophyll, especially when heat and drought limit carbon dioxide supply.
