Photorespiration doesn't happen because of this spatial separation. Chemoautotrophs are found in the deep sea. Autotrophs make their own food.

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.


Is photorespiration independent of light intensity?

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.

Can tomato plants show photo respiration?

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.
