Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Photorespiration involves a long, inefficient, and tedious process of converting phosphoglycolate back into PGA with the help of
A
chloroplast and ER
B
peroxisomes and mitochondria
C
nucleus and ribosomes
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Because carbon is oxidized, the process is termed photorespiration. Photorespiration reduces the efficiency of photosynthesis for a couple of reasons. First, oxygen is added to carbon. In other words, the carbon is oxidized, which is the reverse of photosynthesis-the reduction of carbon to carbohydrate.

Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct option is ‘RuBP’.

Detailed explanation-3: -Second, peroxisomes in leaves are involved in photorespiration, which serves to metabolize a side product formed during photosynthesis (Figure 10.28). CO2 is converted to carbohydrates during photosynthesis via a series of reactions called the Calvin cycle (see Figure 2.39).
