← Nature & AnimalsWhich condition limits carboxylation efficiency by rubisco when stomata close during a drought?
A)Photorespiration increases due to high O2✓
B)Light-dependent reactions produce excess ATP
C)Electron transport chain becomes saturated
D)Chlorophyll degradation exceeds synthesis
💡 Explanation
When stomata close during drought, CO2 decreases and O2 increases inside the leaf, because the mechanism of photorespiration is favored by rubisco when CO2 levels are low. Therefore photorespiration reduces carbon fixation effciency, rather than ATP surplus, saturation, or chlorophyll loss which occur to separate stimuli.
