A) chloroplast and mitochondria
B) chloroplast and peroxisome
C) peroxisome and mitochondria
D) peroxisome and chioroplast
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Photorespiration is a light dependent phenomenon of oxygenation of RuBP and release of \[\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]by the photosynthetic organs of a plant. The site of photorespiration is chloroplast. Phosphoglycolate produced by RuBP oxygenase activity is converted to glycolate by phosphoglycolate phosphatase in the chloroplast. Glycolate then enters the peroxisomes and is converted to glyoxylate by glycolate oxidase. Apart from chloroplast and peroxisomes, mitochondria is also involved in the photorespiratory process.
