Question

If $8$ carbon atoms are deviated from the Calvin cycle in photorespiration, then what is the total carbon loss that occurs at the end of the reaction?

• A. $100$%
• B. $75$%
• C. $25$%
• D. $0$%

Answer 1

The correct option is A $100$%

Photorespiration is a process that certain plants undergo and it involves the loss of carbon. It wastes oxygen and results in a loss of carbon in form of CO2 production.

Hence, the correct answer is option A.
