In which type of reactions related to plant photosynthesis peroxisomes are involved?
Glycolate cycle
Calvin cycle
Bacterial photosynthesis
Glyoxylate cycle
A.
Glycolate cycle
Peroxisome is a small organelle that is bounded by a single membrane. Peroxisome detoxify certain by-products of photosynthesis and oxidise glycolate (produced by photorespiration) to glyoxylate which can then be salvaged by a series of reactions involving mitochondria and chloroplasts as well as peroxisomes.
Lichens are described as indicator of
air pollution
water pollution
soil pollution
agriculture productivity
