Phosphoglycolic acid（Cat No.:R016305）, is a chemical compound that plays a significant role in the process of photorespiration in plants. It is an intermediate compound in the Calvin cycle, a series of biochemical reactions involved in carbon fixation during photosynthesis. Phosphoglycolic acid is formed when ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate reacts with oxygen instead of carbon dioxide. This process, known as photorespiration, can lead to energy loss in plants.
