Photorespiration is a wasteful process. Why is it so?

1. The number of ATP molecules produced in the pathway is very low.
2. The number of NADPH molecules produced in the pathway is very low.
3. The synthesis of sugars in the pathway requires a large input of ATP energy.
4. There is neither synthesis of sugars, nor of ATP in the pathway.

Except for plants in shade or in dense forests, light is rarely a limiting factor in nature. This is because:

1. Dark reactions do not depend on light
2. The rate of photosynthesis can be increased by higher carbon dioxide and lower temperatures even in low light conditions
3. Light saturation occurs at 10 % of full sunlight
4. Carbon fixation is independent of enzymes
