Which outcome inhibits energy production in plants subjected to high oxygen concentrations?

💡 Explanation

Photorespiration occurs as a consequence of rubisco binding O₂ rather than CO₂, therefore consuming ATP and NADPH. This inhibits productive carbon fixation because the plant generates fewer sugars in these conditions, rather than increased photosynthesis.
