Photorespiration is a wasteful process. Why is it so?
1. | The number of ATP molecules produced in the pathway is very low. |
2. | The number of NADPH molecules produced in the pathway is very low. |
3. | The synthesis of sugars in the pathway requires a large input of ATP energy. |
4. | There is neither synthesis of sugars, nor of ATP in the pathway. |

Except for plants in shade or in dense forests, light is rarely a limiting factor in nature. This is because:
1. | Dark reactions do not depend on light |
2. | The rate of photosynthesis can be increased by higher carbon dioxide and lower temperatures even in low light conditions |
3. | Light saturation occurs at 10 % of full sunlight |
4. | Carbon fixation is independent of enzymes |
