- 12.1: Photorespiration and Photosynthetic Pathways
- Photorespiration occurs when RuBisCO binds to gaseous oxygen rather than carbon dioxide. It undoes the good anabolic work of photosynthesis, reducing the net productivity of the plant. Plants in different environments have adaptations to reduce photorespiration while minimizing water loss.
