Giardia intestinalis can cause disease in several different mammalian species, including humans. Giardia organisms (G. intestinalis) that infect humans are similar morphologically to those that infect other mammals, thus they have been considered a single species. However, G. intestinalis has been divided into different subgroups based on their host and a few other characteristics. In 1999, a DNA sequence comparison study tested the hypothesis that these subgroups actually constitute different species. The following phylogenetic tree was constructed from the sequence comparison of rRNA from several subgroups of G. intestinalis and a few other morphologically distinct species of Giardia. The researchers concluded that the subgroups of Giardia are sufficiently different from one another genetically that they could be considered different species

The C2 oxidative photosynthetic carbon cycle on chloroplast metabolism, the functioning of the C2 oxidative photosynthetic cycle in three compartments: chloroplasts, peroxisomes and mitochondria such as;
a.) In the carbon cycle; the transfer two molecules of glycolate and recovers one molecule of glycerate and releases one molecule of CO2
b.) In the nitrogen cycle, one molecule of glutamate and recover one molecule of NH4 +
c.) In the oxygen cycle; contributes to the removal of H2O2 formed in the oxidation of glycolate by O2
i) Takes place in Peroxisome
ii) In Mitochondria
iii) In the Chloroplasts
