    A wastage process is

    A)  respiration      

    B)  photosynthesis

    C)  photorespiration

    D)  movement

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Loss of energy occurs during photorespiration. Photorespiration is light induced oxidation of photosynthetic intermediates with the help of oxygen and release of \[\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}.\]Energy is not released during photorespiration. Photosynthesis is the synthesis of organic compounds from inorganic raw materials (carbon dioxide and hydrogen donor) with the help of enzymes and solar energy trapped by chlorophyll. Respiration is an enzyme controlled biological oxidation of food materials in living cell. Movement is change in position. Movement can be autonomic (ie, due to internal changes) or paratonic (ie, due to external changes).
