Chapter 8, Problem 9TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The process of photorespiration occurs when the level of oxygen is higher and the level of carbon dioxide is lower. This process happens under hot and dry conditions. This process utilizes oxygen and liberates out carbon dioxide. Some C4 plants avoid the process of photorespiration via several mechanisms.
