Notes of photo respiration topic
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 4 years, 4 months ago

  • The first step of the Calvin pathway is the first CO2 fixation step.
  • Respiration is the reaction where RuBP combines with CO2 to form 2 molecules of 3PGA, that is catalysed by RuBisCO.

RuBP + CO2 -> 2 X 3PGA

  • RuBisCO has a much greater affinity for CO2 than for O2.
  • In C3 plants, some O2 do bind to RuBisCO, and hence CO2 fixation is decreased.
  • The RuBP instead of being converted to 2 molecules of PGA binds with O2 to form one molecule and phosphoglycolate in a pathway called photorespiration.
  • In the photorespiratory pathway, there is neither synthesis of sugars, nor of ATP.
