Best Answer

Photorespiration occurs in dry situations, where there is intense light. Desert plants are a great example. Therefore, no, photorespiration is not independent of light intensity.

What is the difference between the light dependent reactions and the light independent reactions?

light dependent reactions only occur in light this means thier reations increases with light intensity while light independent can occur in the dark


Is red light more intense than violet light?

Intensity is independent of the wavelength/frequency.


Does photorespiration produce energy?

No, photorespiration actually wastes energy because no useful product is created when photorespiration occurs, and, as a result, the energy absorb from light earlier is wasted.

How do you increase photorespiration?

There is no need to increase photorespiration . It is an injurious process for plants . It is increased by strong sun light and high temperature as it happens at mid day .It specially happens in tropical regions .


True or false While the rate of photosynthesis is independent of temperature it has been shown to be markedly affected by changes in light intensity?

True


What are stages of photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis consists of two stages: a series of light-dependent reactions that are temperature independent and a series of temperature-dependent reactions that are light independent. The rate of the first series, called the light reaction, can be increased by increasing light intensity (within certain limits) but not by increasing temperature. In the second series, called the dark reaction, the rate can be increased by increasing temperature (within certain limits) but not by increasing light intensity.

Why is photorespiration wastful process?

photorespiration protects plant from photooxidation and photoinhibition.
