In photorespiration, glycolate and glyoxylate are produced sequentially in the following organelles:
Show Hint
- Chloroplasts and Mitochondria
- Chloroplasts and Peroxisome
- Peroxisome and Mitochondria
- Peroxisome and Chloroplast
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Chloroplast:
RuBisCO oxygenates RuBP → phosphoglycolate
Phosphoglycolate → glycolate
Peroxisome:
Glycolate → glyoxylate
Mitochondria: Glyoxylate → glycine
