Answer:

Consumes oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction of RUBISCO with oxygen and metabolic processing of the resulting 2-PG is called "photorespiration". It is called this because it only occurs in the light (mitochondrial respiration continues in darkness) and because it consumes oxygen and produces carbon dioxide, just like mitochondrial respiration.
