Which of the following three organelles are involved in photorespiration ?
Updated On: Jun 6, 2022
- Chloroplast, mitochondrion, glyoxysome
- Chloroplast, peroxisome, mitochondrion
- Chloroplast, lysosome, peroxisome
- Chloroplast, lysosome, mitochondrion

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Photorespiration is the light dependent process of oxygenation of ribulose biphosphate and release of carbon dioxide by the photosynthetic organs of a plant. It occurs in chloroplast. Peroxisome and mitochondria are required for completing the process. This process creates an important difference between C and C plants as it is absent in C plants.

Processes Of Photosynthesis in Higher Plants:
Photosynthesis in higher plants involves the following processes:
- Light Reaction
- Dark Reaction
Light Reaction:
- This phenomenon occurs in the presence of light.
- The pigment absorbs light and produces energy in the form of ATP.
- The process involves- absorption of light, water splitting, the release of oxygen, and formation of ATP and NADPH.
Dark Reaction:
This process occurs in the absence of light in the stroma of the chloroplasts. The following cycles are involved in the process:
- Calvin Cycle (C3 Cycle)
- C4 Cycle (Hatch and Slack Pathway)
