← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when photorespiration impairs photosynthetic pathways?
A)Reduced sugar synthesis prevails downstream✓
B)Enhanced nitrogen fixation commences rapidly
C)Increased water uptake starts immediately
D)Accelerated growth rates are observed
💡 Explanation
Impaired photosynthetic pathways result in reduced sugar synthesis because photorespiration consumes ATP and NADPH, utilizing O₂ and releasing CO₂ rather than fixing carbon. Therefore, sugar production decreases, rather than an increase in other plant processes like nitrogen fixation.
