Statement I: | In \(\text{C}_3\) plants, some \( \text{O}_2\) binds to \(\text{RuBisCO},\) hence \(\text{CO}_2\) fixation is decreased. |
Statement II: | In \( \text{C}_4\) plants, mesophyll cells show very little photorespiration while bundle sheath cells do not show photorespiration. |

A | C4 Pathway | I. | \(2\text{H}_2\text{O}\rightarrow4\text{H}^++\text{O}_2=4\text{e}^-\) |
B. | Light reaction | II. | Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate |
C. | Photorespiration | III. | -carbon molecule phosphoenol |
D. | Calvin cycle | IV. | Phosphoglycolate |
Statement I: | RuBisCO is the most abundant enzyme in the world. |
Statement II: | Photorespiration does not occur in C4 plants. |
The oxygenation activity of RuBisCo enzyme in photorespiration leads to the formation of:
1. | 1 molecule of the 3-C compound |
2. | 1 molecule of the 6-C compound |
3. | 1 molecule of a 4-C compound and 1 molecule of the 2-C compound |
4. | 2 molecules of the 3-C compound |
