Answer 1

Answer:

D. Warburg effect

• Photoinhibition or Oxygen inhibition, but more specifically, it is known as: Warburg effect.

• The Warburg effect is the inhibitory effect of oxygen on the rate of photosynthesis, particularly in C3 plants.

• It occurs when high oxygen levels compete with CO2 for the active site of the enzyme RuBisCO, reducing the rate of photosynthesis.
