Explain the phenomenon of photorespiration, why it is thought to occur (evolutionarily speaking), and why plants have evolved to

minimize its occurrence.

Ghella [55]3 years ago

Photorespiration or oxidative photosynthetic carbon cycle or C2 photosynthesis is a process in which enzyme RuBisCO oxygenates RuBP that leads to wastage of some energy formed during photosynthesis. This process involves three organelles chloroplast, peroxisomes and mitochondria.

Photorespiration occurs in dry and hot climatic plants when there is more oxygen in atmosphere than carbon dioxide. It is a light dependent process where glycolate is synthesized.

The plants have minimized its occurrence because it is a wasteful process. In photosynthesis carbon dioxide is used while in photorespiration carbon dioxide is releases. Thus, these processes work against each other so the plants minimize its occurrence.

Rosalind Franklin's x-ray diffraction images of DNA gave James Watson and Francis Crick information about DNA's
GuDViN [60]
Description:How an X-ray diffraction pattern is created and how the DNA X-ray diffraction pattern can be interpreted to give the dimensions. (DNAi location: Code > Finding the Structure > piece of the puzzle > Franklin's X-ray)Transcript:This is the X-ray crystallograph pattern of DNA obtained by Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling in 1952. It is know as the B-form. It was clearer than the other X-ray patterns because water was included in the DNA sample. Both James Watson and Francis Crick were struck by the simplicity and symmetry of this pattern. The distinctive "X" in this X-ray photo is the telltale pattern of a helix. Because the X-ray pattern is so regular, the dimensions of the helix must also be consistent. For example, the diameter of the helix stays the same..........Keywords:x ray diffraction,x ray crystallography,rosalind franklin dna,diffraction pattern,ray pattern,s college
