whether photorespiration would be present at high concentration of carbon di oxide
- No, Photorespiration acts to produce carbon dioxide when it is unavailable and acts as a check on photosynthesis and on the productivity of the plant.
- Photorespiration is a reaction that occurs during photosynthesis in which oxygen is assimilated and used to oxidize carbohydrates, with the release of carbon dioxide.
- Photorespiration typically takes place during conditions of high light intensity, dryness, and heat (often resulting in the closure of stomata), when the amount of carbon dioxide entering the plant is reduced, and the amount of oxygen produced by photosynthesis accumulates.
