Which outcome occurs when photorespiration limits ATP production in C3 plants?

💡 Explanation

Less efficient carbon fixation occurs due to RuBisCO binding oxygen because photorespiration consumes ATP and NADPH, therefore reducing the plant's overall efficiency in carbohydrate production rather than enhancing photosynthesis under typical carbon-fixing conditions.
