describe the fate of the simple sugar G3P generated by the Calvin cycle?
Photorespiration is a multienzyme bypass of the Calvin cycle's CO2 fixation process in plants and all
other oxygenic phototrophs. This bypass removes and recycles 2-phosphoglycolate, a damaging by-
product of photosynthesis in the presence of O2, which is formed when 02 substitutes CO2 in the CO2
fixation pathway. According to a regional scale model, photorespiration currently reduces US soybean
and wheat yields by 36% and 20%, respectively, and a 5% reduction in photorespiration losses would be
worth around $500 million yearly in the United States.
Can you forecast the costs and good advantages of C4 photosynthesis? What factors increase the
likelihood that the benefits will outweigh the expenses in hot, dry areas in the United States?
describe the function of the Calvin cycle and where it occurs?
