Q. Photorespiration is the light dependent reaction in which utilisation of
A) Oxygen and release of $H_{2}O$ takes place
B) Oxygen and release of $H^{+}$ takes place
C) Oxygen and release of $CO_{2}$ takes place
D) Oxygen and release of $ATP$ takes place
Explanation
Oxygen and release of $CO_{2}$ takes place. Photorespiration is a light dependent utilisation of oxygen and release of carbon dioxide by photosynthetic organs of plant. Normally, photosynthetic organs do the reverse in the light, i.e., uptake of $CO_{2}$ and release of $O_{2}$
