NEET Biology question
Match the compounds/reactions listed in Column I with their names in Column II, where Column I entries represent structures/reactions in the photorespiratory (oxygenase) pathway. List-I: (A) Five-carbon substrate oxidised by RuBisCO (oxygenase activity) (B) Three-carbon product of the oxygenase reaction (C) Two-carbon product of the oxygenase reaction List-II: (1) RuBP (2) 3-PGA (3) 2-phosphoglycolate
Answer: (A)
Solution
In the first reaction of photorespiration, RuBisCO's oxygenase activity acts on the 5-carbon substrate RuBP (A-1) together
