Why photorespiration does not take place in C4 plants?
1. Do not contain RuBisCo.
2. Have a mechanism that increases the concentration of CO2 at the enzyme site.
3. Cells do not allow oxygen to accumulate in them.
4. Cells are impermeable to oxygen.

The evolution of C4 photosynthetic system is probably one of the strategies for

1. Maximising the availability of CO2 and minimising the loss of H2O
2. Minimising the loss of O2 and maximising the avilability of H2O
3. Minimising the availability of CO2 and maximising the loss of H2O
4. More than one option is correct

In photorespiration (C2 cycle)

1. Glycolate is oxidised in mitochondria
2. CO2 is released in peroxisome
