Photorespiration is induced by
A. High light intensity
B. High temperature
C. High O2 content
D. High CO2 content
Answer: Option C
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Photorespiration is induced by High O2 content.Photorespiration refers to a process in plant metabolism where the enzyme RuBisCO oxygenates RuBP, wasting some of the energy produced by photosynthesis.
This process is induced by a higher concentration of oxygen. RuBisCO enzyme catalyzes the carboxylation of RuBP during the first step of the Calvin cycle, functions as an oxygenase, and oxygen fixation is increased.
