plants are more efficient in photosynthesis than plants due to:
Higher leaf area
Presence of larger number of chloroplasts in the leaf cells
Presence of thin cuticle
Lower rate of photorespiration
Photorespiration -
A process in plant metabolism where enzyme RuBisCO oxygenates RuBP, causing some of the energy produced by photosynthesis to be wasted.
- wherein
O2 enters Calvin cycle instead of Co2 this results in reduced rate of photosynthesis.
