Oxidation of pyruvate occurs in mitochondria in pjotosthesizing cells as well. In such this occurs:
1. in photosynthetic cells in the light, while photosynthesis occurs concurrently
2. in non-photosynthesizing cells only
3.in photosynthesizing cells in dark periods and in other tissues all the time
4. in photosynthesizing cells in the light and in other tissues in the dark
