NEET 2012 Biology question

The correct sequence of cell organelles during photorespiration is

(1)Chloroplast, vacuole, peroxisome
(2)Chloroplast, Golgi bodies, mitochondria
(3)Chloroplast, rough endoplasmic reticulum, dictyosomes
(4)Chloroplast, mitochondria, peroxisomeCorrect

Answer: (4)

Solution

Photorespiration is the light-dependent uptake of and release of by RuBisCO acting as an oxygenase in C3 plants. It involves three organelles: (i) chloroplast, where RuBP is oxygenated to give phosphoglycolate, which is converted to glycolate; (ii) peroxisome, where glycolate is oxidised to
