Which of the following option is correct for photorespiration

Options

A. In chloroplast, glycerate forms glycine
B. In peroxisome, glycerate forms phosphoglycolate
C. In mitochondrion, glycine forms serine
D. In bundle sheath, serine form glycine

Answer

C

Explanation

Photorespiration is the process which involves loss of fixed carbon as `CO_2` in plant in the presence of light. It involves three classes of organelles in levy cells chloroplast, peroxisome, and mitochondria. Within mitochondria `CO_2` is released during conversion of glycerin to serine.
