Which of the following statements regarding photorespiration are correct? (a) Does not occur in C3 plants; (b) CO₂ is consumed and O₂ is generated; (c) Phosphoglycolate is formed; (d) No synthesis of ATP and NADPH.
- A.(a) and (d) only
- B.(c) and (d) only✓
- C.(b) and (d) only
- D.(a) and (b) only
Correct Answer
(B) (c) and (d) only
Solution & Explanation
Photorespiration occurs IN C3 plants (so a is false). In it O₂ is consumed and CO₂ is released (so b is false). Its first product is 2-phosphoglycolate (c true). It does not produce ATP or NADPH (d true). Hence (c) and (d) only.
