Detailed Solution

Photorespiration (C2 cycle) is enhanced by bright light, high temperature, high oxygen and low CO2 concentration. In C3 plants, RuBisCO, acts as ribulose biphosphate oxygenase under low atmospheric concentration of CO2 and increased concentration of O2. Thus, photorespiration is favoured by C3 plants.
