Question

In photorespiration glycolate is converted to carbon dioxide and serine in : 1) Chloroplasts 2) Peroxisomes 3) Vacuoles 4) Mitochondria

Answer 1

Photorespiration occurs in three organelles.

These three organelles are- Chloroplast which observes the synthesis of glycolate, Peroxisomes which witnesses the formation of glyocylate which is in turn converted to glycine and lastly Mitochondria where synthesis of serine takes place.

Thus, glycolate is converted to CO2 and serine in Mitochondria.
