In photorespiration, what is the role of peroxisomeA. Help in oxidation of glycolateB. Help in oxygeneration of glycolateC. Help in synthesis of PGAD. Help in reduction of gly oxycolate |

Answer» Correct Answer - C Photorespiration is a process of respiration which takes place in the presence of light and in chloroplasts only. In this process, first of all RuBP is oxygeneted in presence of `O_(2)`. Then, 1 molecule of a 2-C phosphoglycolate and 1 mol. Of a 3C PGA molecules is used in the calvin cycle. phosphoglycolate is dephosphorylated and glycolate is formed. glycolate diffuses out of chloroplast and enters the organelles called peroxisome and enters and organelle called peroxisome. here it is oxidized and becomes called peroxisome. here it is oxidized and becomes glyoxylate. glyoxylate ised in synthesis of glycine. |
