Photorespiration. Photorespiration is a biochemical process in plants in which, especially under conditions of water stress, oxygen inhibits the Calvin cycle, the carbon fixation portion of photosynthesis.
1 Photosynthesis â The process of capturing light energy and converting it to sugar energy, in the presence of chlorophyll using carbon dioxide and water. 2  Respiration â The process of metabolizing (burning) sugars to yield energy for growth, reproduction, and other life processes.ranspiration uses about 90% of the water that enters the plant. The other 10% is an ingredient in photosynthesis and cell growth. Transpiration serves three essential roles: 1  Movement of minerals up from the root (in the xylem) and sugars (products of photosynthesis) throughout the plant (in the phloem).
