During photorespiration, the glycolate is converted into glycine in a structure of ceil called:
Correct answer: D. Peroxisome
- A. Golgi Bodies
- B. Mitochondria
- C. Glyoxysome
- D. Peroxisome
Explanation
Explanation:In the Peroxisomes, glycolate is oxidized with O2 uptake to glyoxylate by glycolate oxidase, and the glyoxylate is converted to glycine by glutamate glyoxylate amino-transferase.This option is not correct. Golgi bodies are organelles involved in processing and sorting proteins and lipids in eukaryotic cells. This option is also incorrect because mitochondria are organelles responsible for producing ATP through cellular respiration, which occurs in the presence of oxygen. Glyoxisome is an organelle found in plant cells that is involved in lipid metabolism, particularly in the conversion of stored lipids into carbohydrates. It is not directly involved in the process of photorespiration.
