Botany - Photosynthesis in Higher Plants Question with Solution | TestHub

The RuBP instead of being converted to 2 molecules of PGA binds with O₂to form one molecule of phosphoglycerate and phosphoglycolate (2 Carbon) in a pathway called photorespiration. In the photorespiratory pathway, there is neither synthesis of sugars, nor of ATP. Rather it results in the release of CO₂with the utilization of ATP. In the photorespiratory pathway there is no synthesis of ATP or NADPH.
