Vedclass · Answer

(A) Photorespiration is a wasteful process that occurs in $C_3$ plants because the enzyme $RuBisCO$ has an affinity for both $CO_2$ and $O_2$.In $C_4$ plants,photorespiration is absent or negligible.This is because $C_4$ plants have a special mechanism to increase the concentration of $CO_2$ at the enzyme site in the bundle sheath cells.This mechanism minimizes the oxygenase activity of $RuBisCO$,thereby preventing photorespiration.
