photosynthetic enzymes

. Glycine is converted to serine and CO 2 in the mitochondria. The serine thus formed is converted to glycerate, through a series of reactions which occurs in the peroxisome. This process is known as photorespiration or photosynthetic carbon oxidation cycle. Photorespiration is defined as..

Photosynthetic phosphorylation or photophosphorylation is the process of phosphate group transfer into ADP to synthesize energy rich ATP molecule making use of light as external energy source. According to chemi osmotic hypothesis (Mitchell 1961) the ATP is synthesized on ATPase complexes..

. They are found in very large numbers in cells that are actively taking part in photosynthesis. For example, the palisade parenchyma cells in the leaves of dicot plants contain as much as 500 to 600 chloroplasts per cell. fig. 16.9 - Chloroplast in Section Each chloroplast is bound by a double mem..

. Symbiosis is the association of two dissimilar organisms. The association may be mutually beneficial (mutualism), benefiting one organism and harming another (parasitism) and benefiting one but having no effect on the other (commensalism). Parasitism is defined as an association between individua..
