Explanation

Photorespiration (C₂cycle) is a special type of respiration shown by many green plants ($C_{3}$plants) when they are exposed to light. It is a light dependent process during which oxygen is used and carbon dioxide is released. The process of photorespiration takes place only in chlorophyllous tissues of plants. Therefore, the main site for photorespiration is chloroplast. But mitochondria and peroxisomes are peroxisomes are also required to complete the process.
