As discussed in

Photorespiration -

A process in plant metabolism where enzyme RuBisCO oxygenates RuBP, causing some of the energy produced by photosynthesis to be wasted.

- wherein

Oenters Calvin cycle instead of Co this results in reduced rate of photosynthesis.

 

 

 Rate of photosynthesis is C_3  plants is decreased at higher temperature due to photorespiration.
