where does formation of glycine take place in C3 plant during photorespiration

Dear Student.
Please find below the solution to the asked query.

Glycine is formed in peroxisomes during photorespiration, which further enters mitochondria and forms serine, CO2 and NH3. The ultimate aim is to form  3-phosphoglyceric acid (PGA) which is an intermediate of the Calvin cycle.
