Which of these is incorrect for C_4 -plants?

Which of these is incorrect for C4\mathrm{C}_4-plants?

Options

  1. AKranz anatomy
  2. BCO2\mathrm{CO}_2 acceptor is PEP
  3. CPEPCase in mesophyll
  4. DRuBisCO in mesophyll

Correct answer

D. RuBisCO in mesophyll

Step-by-step solution

Among the given options, option (4) is incorrect about C4\mathrm{C}_4-plants. The mesophyll cells of C4\mathrm{C}_4-plants do not possess RuBisCO enzyme. C4\mathrm{C}_4-plants show Kranz anatomy. In these plants, the initial fixation of CO2\mathrm{CO}_2 occurs in mesophyll cells. The primary acceptor of CO2\mathrm{CO}_2 is Phosphoenol Pyruvate or PEP. It combines with CO2\mathrm{CO}_2 in the presence of PEP carboxylase or PEPCase to form oxaloacetic acid or oxaloacetate.
