Q. Which one of the following is wrong in relation to photorespiration?

Rajasthan PMTRajasthan PMT 2007

Solution:

Dicker and Tio (1959) discovered photorespiration in tobacco plant. It is a light dependent process of oxygenation of ribulose bis-phosphate (RuBP). During this process $CO _{2}$ is liberated and $O _{2}$ is consumed. $C _{4}$ plants avoid photorespiration by following HatchSlack Pathway.
