In CAM plants, CO_2 acceptor is

In CAM plants, CO2\mathrm{CO}_2 acceptor is

Options

  1. ARuBP
  2. BPEP
  3. COAA
  4. DPGA

Correct answer

B. PEP

Step-by-step solution

The process of photosynthesis in C4\mathrm{C}_4-plants and CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) is same. But instead of spatial separation of initial PEP case fixation and final Rubisco fixation of CO2\mathrm{CO}_2, the two steps occur in same cell but at different times, night and day, eg, Opuntia, pineapple, Vanilla. PEP (Phosphoenol Pyruvate) is the first acceptor of CO2\mathrm{CO}_2 in CAM plants like C4\mathrm{C}_4-plants.
