Botany-C4 Pathway
NEET Botany C4 Pathway Match the Following Question
Type: Match the Following-match the column-Medium-Class 11
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Primary CO2 acceptor (i) PEP carboxylase (b) C4 acid formed (ii) Malic acid (c) Cell type for CO2 fixation (iii) Bundle sheath cells (d) Location of RuBisCO (iv) Mesophyll cells
Choose the correct matching:
A
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
B
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
C
a-i, b-iii, c-iv, d-ii
D
a-ii, b-iv, c-iii, d-i
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The primary CO2 acceptor in the C4 pathway is phosphoenol pyruvate (PEP), which is acted upon by PEP carboxylase to form C4 acids like malic acid. This occurs in mesophyll cells, while RuBisCO is located in the bundle sheath cells.
