← Nature & AnimalsWhich risk increases when mesophyll photosynthesis rate limits sugar production?
A)Starch synthesis accelerates intracellularly
B)RuBisCO binding outcompetes oxygenation
C)Photorespiration reduces photosynthetic quantum yield✓
D)CAM pathway is upregulated immediately
💡 Explanation
Photorespiration increases because high O₂/CO₂ ratios trigger RuBisCO oxygenation rather than carboxylation. Therefore, photosynthetic quantum yield decreases, rather than RuBisCO binding improving or CAM upregulation accelerating.
