Q904

Amino acids produced during Photorespiration is

A.
Glycine
Answer
B.
Tyrosine
C.
Cystine
D.
Proline

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Photorespiration is a respiratory process in many higher plants by which they take up oxygen in the light and give out some carbon dioxide, contrary to the general pattern of photosynthesis.
In photorespiration, peroxisomal glutamate: glyoxylate aminotransferase (GGAT) catalyzes the reaction of glutamate and glyoxylate to produce 2-oxoglutarate and glycine.
Amino acids produced during photo respiration are Glycine.
