The oxygenation activity of RuBisCo enzyme in photorespiration leads to the formation of

1

2 molecules of 3-C compound

2

1 molecule of 3-C compound

3

1 molecule of 6-C compound

4

1 molecule of 4-C compound and 1 molecule of 2-C compound

Step-by-Step Solution

In photorespiration, O2O_2 binds to RuBisCo. As a result RuBP instead to being converted to 2 molecules of PGA bind with O2O_2 to form one molecule each of phosphoglycerate (3 carbon compound) and phosphoglycolate (2 carbon compound).
