Chapter 20, Problem 22P

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The reason that why oxidative photosynthetic carbon cycle $\left({\text{C}}_{\text{2}}\text{cycle}\right)$ called as photorespiration and mitochondrial respiration are referred as respiration is to be determined.

Introduction:

Photorespiration is the process in which the plants take up the oxygen from the environment and produces carbon dioxide to the environment. Photorespiration process involves three different organelles of plant cells: chloroplast, peroxisome and mitochondria. The end product of the photorespiration is formation of carbon dioxide.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The location of photorespiration and mitochondrial respiration occur in cells and under what circumstances is to be determined.

Introduction:

Photorespiration is the process in which the plants take up the oxygen from the environment and produces carbon dioxide to the environment. The end product of photorespiration is the production of carbon dioxide.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The path of electron flow in photosynthesis respiration and mitochondrial respiration is to be determined.

Introduction:

Photorespiration is the process in which the plants take up the oxygen from the environment and produces carbon dioxide to the environment. Photorespiration process occurs during day time while mitochondrial respiration occurs during day and night time.
