Answer 1

Photorespiration results in a loss of 3 fixed carbon atoms under these conditions, while the Calvin cycle results in a gain of 6 fixed carbon atoms. ... In the photorespiration pathway, 6 O2 molecules combine with 6 RuBP acceptors, making 6 3-PGA molecules and 6 phosphoglycolate molecules.

Answer 2

Answer:

The conditions for the photorespiration is that when the amount or the quantity of carbon dioxide decreases or is becomes low and the concentration of the oxygen is higher.

This happen as a result of the rubisco which takes the oxygen making it as the substrate instead of the carbon dioxide.
