In photorespiration, what is the role of peroxisome

Options

A. Help in oxidation of glycolate
B. Help in oxygeneration of glycolate
C. Help in synthesis of PGA
D. Help in reduction of gly oxycolate

Answer

C

Explanation

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.
