Options
- Achloroplast
- Bmitochondria
- Cperoxisomes
- Dall of these.
Correct answer
D. all of these.
Step-by-step solution
Photorespiration is a metabolic pathway that occurs in plants in the presence of light, in which ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase the (RuBisCO) enzyme involved in carbon dioxide fixation with ribulose bisphosphate, accepts oxygen, in place of carbon dioxide, resulting in the formation of a twocarbon compound, glycolate. Most of the fixed carbon represented by the glycolate can be salvaged by a series of reactions-the glycolate pathway - involving the peroxisomes and mitochondria, and returned to the chlo
