What does your textbook say about PHOTORESPIRATION?
Let us try and understand one more process that creates an important difference between C3 and C4 plants – Photorespiration. To understand photorespiration we have to know a little bit more about the first step of the Calvin pathway – the first CO2 fixation step. This is the reaction where RuBP combines with CO2 to form molecules of 3PGA, that is catalysed by RuBisCO. RuBP
