Assertion (A): Under condition of high light intensity and limited supply,photorespiration has a useful role in protecting the plants from photooxidative damage.
Reason (R): If enough is not available to utilize light energy for carboxylation to proceed, the excess energy may not cause damage to plants.
Reason (R): If enough is not available to utilize light energy for carboxylation to proceed, the excess energy may not cause damage to plants.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
Option C (If assertion is true but Reason is false) is correct because photorespiration does protect plants under high light and low CO2, but the excess energy *does* cause damage if not utilized.
