Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
Photosynthesis in C₄ plants is relatively less limited by atmospheric CO₂ levels because:
A
four carbon acids are the primary initial CO₂ fixation products
B
the primary fixation of CO₂ is mediated via PEP carboxylase
C
effective pumping of CO₂ into bundle sheath cells
D
RUBISCO in C₄ plants has higher affinity for CO₂
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
C₄ plants use PEP carboxylase for the initial fixation of CO₂, which is more efficient under low CO₂ conditions.
