Q. Warburg effect is the
A) Inhibition of $C_{4}$-cycle by $O_{2}$
B) Inhibition of $C_{2}$-cycle by $O_{2}$
C) Inhibition of $C_{3}$-cycle by $O_{2}$
D) Inhibition of $C_{3}$-cycle by $CO_{2}$
Explanation
Ottowarburg made an observation that $O_{2}$ inhibits photosynthesis in $C_{3}$-plants. This phenomenon is originally known as the Warburg effect. It was latter recognised as the light dependent release of $CO_{2}$ due to oxygenase activity of RuBisCo called photorespiration
