Which risk increases when a plant's rate of photorespiration spikes during midday heat?

💡 Explanation

When heat increases photorespiration, the oxygenation reaction by Rubisco is strongly favored because it becomes less specific to CO2. Therefore carbon fixation decreases, rather than high CO2 entry through open stomata mitigating it.
