Photorespiration in ` C_3` - plants starts from

A

Phosphoglycerate

B

Phosphoglycolate

C

glycerate

D

Glycine

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In the process of photorespiration oxygen combines with RUBP (Ribulose - biphosphate) in chloroplast as following
`O_2 RUBP overset("Rubisco") to 3 - "phosphoglycerate" + 2- "phosphoglycolate" to CO_2`
Phosphoglycolate enters in peroxisomes and is finally converted to `CO_2`
