Which constraint arises when a plant maintains high Rubisco concentrations?

💡 Explanation

Maintaining high Rubisco concentrations elevates oxygen affinity, and the mechanism of photorespiration increases because Rubisco binds to more oxygen. This leads to carbon loss rather than efficient fixation; therefore, photorespiration increases, rather than ATP production falling.
