photorespiration
a process in which products from photosynthesis are oxidized to release CO2. Mitochondria are not involved and there is no yield of ATP, thus wasting some of the solar energy used to fix CO2 in the initial photosynthetic reactions.Collins Dictionary of Biology, 3rd ed. © W. G. Hale, V. A. Saunders, J. P. Margham 2005
