Question

Select the wrong pair
S.NoCell organelleFunction

(2)Peroxisome-Sire of photorespiration in C3 plants
(3)Glyoxysome-β-oxidation of fatty acids in castor
(4)Oxysome-Site of photophoshorylation

Solution

Spherosomes synthesizes and stores lipids so 1 is also correct.
Photorespiration occurs at chloroplast, peroxisomes and mitochondria. It is a process of C3 plats only so 2 is correct.
Glyoxysomes contain the enzymes othat actively convert fat to carbohydrate.So 3 is also correct.
Oxysomes are small round bodies found in the inner mitochondrial membrane, and involved in ATP synthesis. But photophosphorylation is conversion of ADP to ATP in presence of light. Here light presence is not required.
So, the correct option is 'oxysome - site of photophosphorylation'.
