Q. During photorespiration, the conversion of phosphoglycolate to glycolate takes place in this cell organelle :

EAMCETEAMCET 2003

Solution:

Photorespiration is the uptake of $ {{O}_{3}} $ and release of $ C{{O}_{2}} $ :, in light and results from the biosynthesis of glycolate in chloroplast and subsequent metabolism of glycolic acid in the same leaf cell through other two cell organelles (i.e., peroxisome and mitochondria). Conversion of phosphoglycolate to glycolate takes place in chloroplast.
