Question
Chapter 8.3, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The lowering of photosynthetic output byphotorespiration.
Introduction:
In the plants, the biochemical process occurring in the chloroplasts converting the inorganic molecules into organic molecules is called photosynthesis. This process includes trapping of light energy and converting it into the chemical energy, which can be used by the plants for their functioning.
