Answer-Which of the following are correct about C₄ &nbsp;cycle and C₄ &nbsp;plant? A. Phosphoenolpyruvate c...

Accepted Answer

In C  plants, the initial step of the C  cycle involves the enzyme PEP carboxylase, which catalyzes the fixation of CO  to form oxaloacetate in the cytosol of mesophyll cells. After the initial fixation of CO  in the mesophyll cells, the C  compound oxaloacetate is transported to the bundle sheath cells, where it is decarboxylated to release CO , which then enters the Calvin cycle. The C  cycle takes place in the chloroplasts of bundle sheath cells.

Which of the following are correct about C₄ cycle and C₄ plant?
A. Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase is located in cytosol
B. C₄ cycle occurs in the chloroplasts of bundle sheath cells
C. C₄ cycle is a CO₂ enrichment cycle
D. C₄ cycle occurs in the chloroplasts of mesophyll cells.
