Explain the right answer in detail...
316. Which of the following characteristics out of
A, B and C are exhibited by C4 plants?
(l) Kranzanatomy
(2) The product of photosynthesis is
oxaloacetic acid
(3) Both PEP carbodylase and ribulose-
bisphosphate carboxylase act as
carboxylation enzymes
(l) Only A and B, but not C
(2) Only Band C, but not A
(3) Only A and C, but not B
(4) All A, B, and C
Dear student.
The correct answer is (4) All A, B, and C.
First stable product of C4 cycle is OAA.
The chloroplast in the C4 plant is dimorphic. This anatomy is called Kranz anatomy. C4 plants having kranz anatomy can tolerate high temperature and high light intensity, show the greater productivity of biomass, and perform very less photorespiration.
C4 plants have another carbon fixing enzyme along with Rubisco, this is known as phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEP carboxylase).
Regards.
