Photorespiration: * Rubisco catalyze its oxygenation ability omnipresent, even in anaerobic, autotrophic bacteria when exposed to oxygen * Loss of CO2 from cells *Competition: decrease the efficiency of photosynthesis * Interconnection: determined by the kinetic properties of rubisco, the concentration of substrates, and temperature * C2 oxidative photosynthetic carbon cycle:act as a scavenger operation to recover fixed carbon lost during photorespiration

Photorespiration depends on the photosynthetic electron transport system
The biological function of photorespirationis under investigation * a protective, to dissipate excess ATP and reducing power, especially under high light intensity and low [CO2]inter (e.g., water stress) * mutants lack glycerate kinase, not viable in normal air *linked photorespiration to nitrate assimilation a full understanding is still not at hand
0.03% CO2 / 21% O2 CO2-concentrating mechanisms: A. C4 photosynthetic carbon fixation (C4), in hot environment; B. Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM), in desert environment; C. CO2 pumps at the plasma membrane. In aquatic plants, such as unicellular cyanobacteria and algae. In aquatic environment, [CO2] low rubisco specificity activity low CO2-HCO3-pumpsat the plasma membrane are induced, to accumulate inorganic carbon light energy provide ATP to uptake CO2 and HCO3- carbonic anhydrase: HCO3- + H+→ H2O +CO2 → Calvin cycle [CO2] ↑ suppress photorespiration
