Question

Photorespiration is the light dependent reaction in which utilisation of

Mr. NARESH KUMAR K · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: C
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Photorespiration
	**Related Topics**: Photosynthesis, Calvin cycle, RuBisCO
	**Prerequisites**: Basic understanding of photosynthesis and its related processes.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	The question asks about the reactants and products of photorespiration.
	Photorespiration is a light-dependent process.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. Recall the definition of photorespiration: It's a process where RuBisCO binds with oxygen instead of carbon dioxide.
	2. Identify the key products: This leads to consumption of oxygen and release of carbon dioxide.
	3. Match with options. 
	
**Result**:  Option C correctly identifies the reactants and products of photorespiration.
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] :x: Incorrect. Photorespiration does not release water.
[B] :x: Incorrect. Photorespiration doesn't release H+ directly as a primary product.
[C] ✓: Correct. Photorespiration utilizes oxygen and releases CO2.
[D] :x: Incorrect. Photorespiration consumes ATP instead of generating it.
 ## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1. Confusing photorespiration with photosynthesis: Photorespiration is a wasteful pathway that competes with photosynthesis.
		2. Misidentifying the products: Remember that photorespiration releases CO2, which is the opposite of what happens in photosynthesis.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1. Focus on RuBisCO's dual nature: It can bind with both CO2 and O2, leading to different pathways.
		2. Remember photorespiration is an inefficient process that reduces the efficiency of photosynthesis.
