Question

In a C3 plant, a light dependent cyclic process is occurring that requires oxygen. Instead of producing, it consumes energy.

a) Name the process

b) Is it necessary for survival?

c) Write the end products of this process.

d) Where does it take place?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria, and some protistans use ... Oh yes, we need the food as well! .... If a pigment absorbs light energy, one of three things will occur

Answer 2

The following questions can be answered as follows:

(a) Photorespiration is a light-dependent process that takes place in C3 plants which do not result in energy production.

(b) Photorespiration is considered a wasteful process since it consumes oxygen and does produce any type of energy, thus it is not considered necessary for survival.

(c) The end products of the process of photorespiration are 3-PGA (3 carbon compound) and phosphoglycolate ( 2 C compound).

(d) The process of photorespiration requires the involvement of 3 plant organelles, namely, chloroplast, peroxisome, and mitochondria.
