Other known peroxisomal functions include the glyoxylate cycle in germinating seeds (" glyoxysomes "), photorespiration in leaves, citation glycolysis in trypanosomes (" glycosomes "), and methanol and/or amine oxidation and assimilation in some yeasts. Source: Internet
Carbon dioxide levels and photorespiration Photorespiration As carbon dioxide concentrations rise, the rate at which sugars are made by the light-independent reactions increases until limited by other factors. Source: Internet
Photorespiration Photorespiration can occur when the oxygen concentration is too high. Source: Internet
