Question

In which type of reactions related to plant photosynthesis peroxisomes are involved?

• A. Glycolate cycle
• B. Calvin cycle
• C. Bacterial photosynthesis
• D. Glyoxylate cycle

Answer 1

The correct option is A Glycolate cycle

Glycolate cycle, also known as C${}_2$ cycle, is a complex metabolic pathway, that takes place in chloroplasts, mitochondria and peroxisomes of plant cells and is responsible for the formation of the amino acids, serine and glycine from non-phosphorylated intermediates of the carbon reduction cycle of photosynthesis.
