What else can I help you with?
Photorespiration lowers the efficiency of photosynthesis by preventing the formation of?
3-phosphoglycerate molecules
Why do we need to wear gloves during an experiment?
So nothing happens.
What happens during halftime of earth?
Football games have halftime. The planet Earth does not.
What happens during stage 4 of cold water immersion.?
cardiac arrest
What happens to the potential of the molecules in a reaction?
the potential energy of the molecules changes during a reaction.
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 .
Why is photorespiration such a waste?
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
Where is Photorespiration located?
Photorespiration involves three different organelles--- chloroplasts, peroxisomes and mitochondria
What happens during phtorespiration and why is it considered bad for plants?
When O2 is high concentration and Rubisco combines it to RUBD. It's bad because it can't make sugar/ATP. Photorespiration is the biosynthetic pathway that leads to the fixation of oxygen.
Does photorespiration produce energy?
No, photorespiration does not produce energy. In fact, it is considered a wasteful process that occurs in plants when there is a lack of carbon dioxide and excess oxygen in the leaf cells. Photorespiration can decrease the efficiency of photosynthesis in plants.
What happens when RuBP reacts with O2?
When RuBP reacts with O2 instead of CO2 in the Calvin cycle, a process known as photorespiration occurs. This results in the synthesis of a compound that can't be used to produce glucose, wasting energy and decreasing the efficiency of photosynthesis.
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.
Is photorespiration independent of light intensity?
Photorespiration is not independent of light intensity; it is suppressed at high light intensity due to the greater availability of CO2 for photosynthesis. Under low light conditions, photorespiration can become more prevalent as there is a higher ratio of oxygen to CO2 in the leaf, leading to increased oxygenation of ribulose bisphosphate.
What is photorespiration?
Photorespiration is a process in plants that occurs when rubisco, the enzyme responsible for carbon fixation, uses oxygen instead of carbon dioxide. This can happen in hot or dry conditions, leading to a wasteful process that reduces the efficiency of photosynthesis. Photorespiration can lower the productivity of plants.
What are the advantage and disadvntage of photorespiration?
Advantage: Photorespiration helps to salvage energy and prevent damage to the plant from reactive oxygen species. Disadvantage: Photorespiration decreases the efficiency of photosynthesis by wasting energy and reducing carbon fixation, ultimately leading to lower yields in plants.
What is the difference between photorespiration and respiration?
photorespiration: RuBP accepts oxygen instead of CO2 during photosynthesis because production of oxygen has exceeded production of CO2. respiration: Oxygen is produced in oxidative phosphorylation/chemisosmosis and used to produce water during respiration.
Photorespiration does not produce energy in any form?
True!
