The oxygenation activity of RuBisco enzyme in photorespiration leads to the formation of:

A

2 molecules of 3-C compound

B

1 molecule of 3-C compound

C

1 molecule of 6-C compound

D

1 molecule of 4-C compound and 1 molecule of 2-C compound

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In photorespiration, `O_2` binds to RuBisCo. As a result RuBP instead to being converted to 2 molecules of PGA bind with 2 `O_2` to form one molecule of phosphoglycerate (3 carbon compound) and one molecule of phosphoglycolate (2 carbon compound.
