Options

  1. Ait occurs in chloroplast
  2. Bit occurs in day time only
  3. Cit is a characteristic of C ₄ plants
  4. Dit is a characteristic of C ₃ plants

Correct answer

C. it is a characteristic of C ₄ plants

Step-by-step solution

Photorespiration is seen in C ₃ cycle. The process of photorespiration is also known as Photosynthetic Carbon Oxidation (PCO) cycle and involves three organellesChloroplasts, peroxisomes and mitochondria. Caution Photorespiration is absent in C₄ plants due to presence of Kranz anatomy.
