In photosynthesis, the relationship of O2 evolved to CO2 taken up is 1:1. 

In photorespiration, 3 O2 are taken up for every CO2 evolved.

Photorespiration stimulates nitrate assimilation in C3 plant roots, probably by increasing NADH availability in the cytosol.

Photorespiration is positively correlated with growth under nitrogen limitation
