RuBisCO
|
|
|
PEP
|
|
|
Either A or B
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -So the correct answer is ‘PEP carboxylase ‘.
Detailed explanation-2: -Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) is the 3-Carbon compound and acts as the primary CO2 acceptor in the mesophyll cells of C4 plants, leading to the formation of OAA (Oxaloacetic acid), C4 acid.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is the role of PEP carboxylase in C4 and CAM plants? PEP carboxylase is essential for carbon fixation in C4 and CAM plants. It is present in the mesophyll cells. It catalyses the initial carbon fixation where PEP acts as an acceptor for CO2, and produces OAA.
