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 does not occur (or is negligible) because they have a mechanism that increases the concentration of $CO_{2}$ at the enzyme site,which minimizes the oxygenase activity of $RuBisCO$.
