Which limitation reduces photosynthetic efficiency when internal leaf oxygen concentration increases significantly?

💡 Explanation

When oxygen concentration rises, rubisco catalyzes photorespiration because it has a higher affinity for CO2, reducing carbon fixation and diverting energy. Therefore rubisco oxygenase activity increases, rather than chlorophyll degradation, stomatal closure or ETC saturation, which are triggered by separate conditions.
