Answer:

It's how plants get their food, using energy from sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide from the air into sugars. Scientists have long believed that more than 30 percent of the energy produced during photosynthesis goes to waste in a process called photorespiration. The new study suggests otherwise.

Photosynthesis is one of the most crucial life processes on Earth. It's how plants get their food, using energy from sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide from the air into sugars. It's long been thought that more than 30 percent of the energy produced during photosynthesis is wasted in a process called photorespiration.

During photorespiration, the most prevalent protein on the planet, called Rubisco, combines sugars with oxygen in the atmosphere instead of carbon dioxide. This was thought to waste energy and decrease sugar synthesis. Rubisco, thus, seemed to act like the molecular equivalent of a good friend with a bad habit. Researchers speculate that photorespiration persists because most plants have reached an evolutionary dead-end.
