Question
Which of the following is formed during photorespiration?
- Sugar
- Phosphoglycolate
- NADPH
- ATP
The correct answer is: Phosphoglycolate
In photorespiration, the RuBP instead of being converted to two molecules of PGA binds with 
to form one molecules of PGA and phosphoglycolate. In the phosphorespiratory pathway, there is neither synthesis of sugars, nor of ATP. In this pathway there is no synthesis of ATP or NADPH. Therefore, it is a wasterful process.
