During photorespiration, the oxygen consuming reaction (s) occur in:
During photorespiration, the oxygen consuming reaction (s) occur in:
Options
- Astroma of chloroplasts
- Bstroma of chloroplasts and mitochondria
- Cstroma of chloroplasts and peroxisomes
- Dgrana of chloroplasts and peroxisomes
Correct answer
C. stroma of chloroplasts and peroxisomes
Step-by-step solution
The first reaction of photorespiration occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts. In this reaction, in the presence of oxygen shows oxygenase activity. In peroxisomes, the glycolate transferred from chloroplasts takes up and forms the glyoxylate, whereas is released as a byproduct.
