The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Context**: The question asks about the release of ammonia (NH3) in plants. We need to identify the process in which this occurs. 2. **Identifying the Processes**: The main processes in plants related to photosynthesis and respiration include: - Photosynthesis (light reactions and dark reactions) - Photorespiration - CAM pathway (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) 3. **Focusing on Photorespiration**: Among these processes, photorespiration is known to involve the release of ammonia. It is a process that occurs in the chloroplasts, peroxisomes, and mitochondria. 4. **Chemical Reaction Involved**: In photorespiration, two molecules of glycine combine to form one molecule of serine. During this reaction, ammonia (NH3) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are released as byproducts. 5. **Energy Consideration**: It is important to note that photorespiration is considered a wasteful pathway because it consumes ATP without producing any useful energy or sugars. 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the above information, we can conclude that the release of ammonia (NH3) occurs during the process of photorespiration. ### Final Answer: Ammonia (NH3) is released during the process of **photorespiration**.
