### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Respiration in Plants**: - Plants undergo respiration, a process where they take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. This is a normal metabolic process. 2. **Role of Enzyme Rubisco**: - The enzyme ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) plays a crucial role in the process of photosynthesis and respiration. It typically facilitates the carboxylation of ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP), leading to the production of glucose and the release of oxygen. ...
