NEET Botany C4 Pathway Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Primary CO2 acceptor | (i) PEP carboxylase |
| (b) First stable product | (ii) Malic acid |
| (c) Location of fixation | (iii) Mesophyll cells |
| (d) Enzyme involved | (iv) Bundle sheath cells |
a-iii, b-i, c-iv, d-ii
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-iii, c-i, d-iv
a-i, b-iii, c-ii, d-iv
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The primary CO2 acceptor in the C4 pathway is phosphoenol pyruvate (PEP), which is present in the mesophyll cells. The first stable product is the C4 acid, which is formed in the mesophyll cells before being transported to bundle sheath cells. PEP carboxylase is the enzyme involved in this fixation process.
