PHOTORESPIRATION Flashcards
Photorespiration organelles
chloroplast, peroxisome, mitochondrion
C4
mesophyll: HCO3- and PEPcase
bundle shealth: malate –> CO2 –> 3-PGA
spatially separated
C3 plants
Photosynthesis: Mesophyll cells
Absence of Kranz anatomy
No chloroplast in bundle sheath cells
Relatively less thicker bundle sheath
cells layers than C4 plants
C4 plants
Photosynthesis: Mesophyll and bundle sheath cells
Presence of Kranz anatomy
Chloroplast in bundle sheath cells
Thicker bundle sheath cell layers
Photorespiration
Generally, found in C3 plants
Chloroplast, Peroxisome, Mitochondria
Light-dependentpathway
No ATP production
H2O2 production
NH3 production
Substrate: Glycolate
Energy wastage process
Respiration
All living organisms
Mitochondria
Light-independent pathway
ATP production
No H2O2 production
No NH3 production
Substrate: Glucose/pyruvate
Energy producing process
CAM
PEPcase fixes HCO3- at night
Day: malate –> pyruvate –> CO2 –> calvin cycle
temporally separated
NADP- malic enzyme
