Photorespiration

A metabolic pathway in plants that consumes oxygen, releases carbon dioxide, generates no ATP, and decreases photosynthetic output; it occurs when oxygen levels are high and carbon dioxide levels are low.

RuBP

Ribulose bisphosphate, a sugar involved in the initial step of carbon fixation in the process of photosynthesis.

Oxygen

A reactive, life-sustaining component of the atmosphere, essential for cellular respiration in aerobic organisms and critical for combustion processes.

Carbon Dioxide

A colorless, odorless gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds and by respiration. It is absorbed by plants in photosynthesis.
