    During photorespiration, the conversion of phosphoglycolate to glycolate takes place in which cell organelle.

    A)  Mitochondria                

    B)  Peroxisome

    C)  Chloroplast                  

    D)  Glyoxysome

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Conversion of phosphoglycolate to glycolate takes place in chloroplast. Photorespiration is the uptake of \[{{O}_{2}}\] and release of \[C{{O}_{2}}\] in light that 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).
