Photorespiration is a metabolic pathway that consumes oxygen and ATP, releases carbon dioxide, and decreases photosynthetic output, generally occurring on hot, dry, bright days.
La fotorrespiración es una vía metabólica que consume oxígeno y ATP, libera CO2 y reduce la producción fotosintética, ocurriendo comúnmente en días calurosos y secos.
