Which effect occurs when photorespiration outcompetes carbon fixation in plant chloroplasts at high temperatures?

💡 Explanation

When temperatures rise, rubisco binds more readily with oxygen rather than carbon dioxide in a process called photorespiration because of reduced CO2 solubility, reducing fixed carbon. Therefore, decreased photosynthetic efficiency results, rather than increased ATP production, enhanced glucose synthesis, or chlorophyll decomposition, which depend on efficient carbon fixation.
