A cyclic process is occurring in a C3 plant, which is light-dependent and needs O2. This process doesn’t produce energy rather it consumes energy.
a. Can you name the given process?

b. Is it essential for survival?

c. What are the end products of this process?

d. Where does it occur?

Solution:

(a) Photorespiration, is a process that occurs in chloroplasts, mitochondria, and peroxisomes.

(b) Photorespiration happens when there is an abundance of oxygen rather than carbon dioxide, therefore it is not necessary for survival.

(c) Hydrogen peroxide

(d) this process occurs in chloroplast, mitochondria, and peroxisome.
