Question

    Which among the following crops is considered a typical

    C4 plant, exhibiting high photosynthetic efficiency under high temperature and light intensity conditions?
    A Wheat Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rice Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Maize Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Barley Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Mustard Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    C4 plants like maize have a specialized mechanism that concentrates CO ₂ around Rubisco, reducing photorespiration. This enhances photosynthetic efficiency in hot, sunny environments, making maize a classic example of a C4 plant.
