Photorespiration limits casualty products of light reactions
that build up in the absence of the Calvin cycle. In many plants,
photorespiration is a problem because on a hot, dry day it can drain as much as
50% of the carbon fixed by the Calvin cycle. The closing of stomata reduces access to CO2
and causes O2 to build up. These conditions favor a seemingly not useful process
called photorespiration. In most plants
(C3 plants), initial fixation of CO2, via rubisco, forms a three-carbon
compound. In photorespiration, rubisco
adds O2 instead of CO2 in the Calvin cycle. Photorespiration eats up O2 and
organic fuel and releases CO2 without producing ATP or sugar. Photorespiration
can evolve relic because rubisco first evolved at a time when the atmosphere
had far less O2 and more CO2.
Hi there!
Active Transport - Through the use of ATP, active transport pumps molecules against a particular concentration gradient. Active transport occurs from a low concentration solute and moves to a high concentration of solute. Two examples of active transport would be endocytosis and exocytosis.
Passive Transport - Active transport is the movement of molecules down a gradient. Unlike passive transport, it goes from high to low concentration and does not require energy (such as cellular energy). Some examples would be osmosis and diffusion.
I hope this helped!
Look on google for a venn diagram of the 2 things you are comparing and then use those answers
In an endothermic reaction, the products have a greater bond energy than the reactants. The overall energy is positive as a result.
