photorespiration protects plant from photooxidation and photoinhibition.
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.
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.
No, tomato plants do not undergo photorespiration. Photorespiration is a process that occurs in C3 plants, where oxygen is mistakenly used instead of carbon dioxide in the initial steps of photosynthesis. However, tomato plants are classified as C4 plants, which have evolved mechanisms to minimize photorespiration.

Photorespiration involves three different organelles--- chloroplasts, peroxisomes and mitochondria

Photorespiration occurs when a plant runs out of CO2 and begins adding O2 to RuBP in the Calvin cycle.

Photorespiration is a wasteful process because: i. About 25 % of the CO2 fixed during photosynthesis is lost ii. There is no formation of ATP & NADH
Kingdom Animalia is the taxonomic classification group that contains the greatest or widest variety of organisms.
The kingdom classification group includes the greatest variety of organisms. It is the broadest and most inclusive group that encompasses all living organisms, from bacteria to plants to animals.

Photorespiration doesn't happen because of this spatial separation. Chemoautotrophs are found in the deep sea. Autotrophs make their own food.
In photorespiration, O2 replaces CO2 in a non-productive, wasteful reaction. Photorespiration occurs when the CO2 levels inside a leaf become low, which happens on hot dry days when a plant is forced to close its stomata to prevent excess water loss.
