What is the c2 cycle

Answer: The oxidative photosynthetic carbon cycle (C2 cycle) meansthe metabolic pathway that is liable for photosynthetic o2 uptake and light-dependent carbon dioxide production, also known as photorespiration. The C2, as well as reductive C3 cycles, coexist and represent overall photosynthetic carbon metabolism when combined. A brief historical overview is provided, beginning with early observations of inhibition of oxygen of photosynthesis and progressing to the discovery of oxygenase activity affiliated with ribulose 1,5bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase. The properties and roles of enzyme compartmentalization in the pathway as well as the transfer of C2 cycle circuits are discussed.
