The glycolate produced diffuses into the membrane bounded organelles called____________?
Correct answer: B. Peroxisomes
- A. Glyoxisomes
- B. Peroxisomes
- C. Lysosomes
- D. Mitochondria
Explanation
Glycolate formed during photorespiration diffuses into peroxisomes, where it is oxidized and converted into compounds that continue the photorespiratory pathway. Students may choose glyoxisomes because the name resembles peroxisomes, but glyoxisomes are specialized mainly for handling fats in germinating seeds.
