  • question_answer
    Photosynthesis in \[{{C}_{4}}\] plants is relatively less limited by atmospheric \[C{{O}_{2}}\] levels because :

    A) Four carbon acids are the primary initial \[C{{O}_{2}}\] fixation products

    B) The primary fixation \[C{{O}_{2}}\] is mediated via PEP carboxylase

    C) Effective pumping of \[C{{O}_{2}}\] into bundle sheath cells

    D) Rubisco in \[{{C}_{4}}\] plants has higher affinity for \[C{{O}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Atm. \[C{{O}_{2}}\] concentration is not limiting factor for \[{{C}_{4}}\] plants due to effective pumping or effective transfer of \[C{{O}_{2}}\] from mesophyll cells to bundle sheath cells where the final fixation of \[C{{O}_{2}}\] occurs and rate of photosynthesis is depends on rate of final \[C{{O}_{2}}\] fixation.
