Vedclass · Answer

(C) Photorespiration is a wasteful process that occurs in $C_3$ plants. The oxygen-consuming reactions occur in two main locations:$1$. In the $Stroma$ of chloroplasts,the enzyme $RuBisCO$ acts as an oxygenase,where $O_2$ is consumed during the oxygenation of $RuBP$.$2$. In the $Peroxisomes$,the enzyme $Glycolate$ oxidase consumes $O_2$ to convert glycolate into glyoxylate.Therefore,the correct answer is $C$.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(1)$ Molecule transport from chloroplast to peroxisome	$(p)$ Glycine
$(2)$ Molecule transport from peroxisome to mitochondria	$(q)$ Serine
$(3)$ Molecule transport from mitochondria to peroxisome	$(r)$ Glycerate
$(4)$ Molecule transport from peroxisome to chloroplast	$(s)$ Glycolate

During photorespiration,the oxygen-consuming reaction$(s)$ occur in:
