Detailed explanation-1: -C4 plants-including maize, sugarcane, and sorghum-avoid photorespiration by using another enzyme called PEP during the first step of carbon fixation. This step takes place in the mesophyll cells that are located close to the stomata where carbon dioxide and oxygen enter the plant.
Detailed explanation-2: -A small minority of Africa’s wild plant foods are C4. These are primarily the seeds of some of the C4 grasses, the rootstocks and stem/leaf bases of some of the C4 sedges (especially papyrus), and the leaves of some of the C4 herbaceous dicots (forbs).
Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of C4 plants include corn, sorghum, sugarcane, millet, and switchgrass.
Detailed explanation-4: -Solution : Among the given options, option (d) is incorrect about ‘C (4)‘-plants. The mesophyll cells of ‘C (4)‘-plants do not possess RuBisCO enzyme.
