    The ratio between 2-carbon and 3-carbon intermediates having -NH2 group formed in photosynthetic oxidation cycle is

    A)  1:1                                        

    B)  2:1

    C)  3:2                                        

    D)  3:4

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     During  photorespiration,   in  peroxisome 2-molecules of glycine \[(2{{H}_{2}}NC{{H}_{2}}-C{{O}_{2}})\] are transferred into mitochondrion, where they are converted   into   1-molecule   of   serine \[(HOC{{H}_{2}}-{{H}_{2}}NCH-C{{O}_{2}}).\] Thus, the ratio between 2C and 3C intermediates having \[-N{{H}_{2}}\]group is 2:1.
