It undoes the good anabolic work of photosynthesis, reducing the net productivity of the plant. Plants in different environments have adaptations to reduce photorespiration while minimizing water loss.

Unfortunately, Rubisco is “two-faced” since it also catalyzes photorespiration. Photorespiration means that plants take oxygen instead of carbon dioxide. Rubisco catalyzes photorespiration if there is a high concentration of oxygen (which usually is a result of intense light stage).

Plants use two general strategies for doing so. The first is employed by plants called C3 plants (most plants) and it simply involves the pathway described above. Another class of plants, called C4 plants employ a novel strategy for concentrating the CO2 prior to assimilation.

Under hot and dry environmental conditions the stomata close to reduce the loss of water vapor, but this also results in a greatly diminished supply of CO2 for the plant. Plants that normally live in dry, hot climates have adapted different ways of initially fixing CO2 prior to its entering the Calvin cycle.

It highlights the challenge of photorespiration, where RUBISCO binds with oxygen, and how C4 and CAM plants have adapted to reduce this issue. C4 plants convert CO2 into a 4-carbon compound, while CAM plants schedule their processes to cope with difficult environments.
