The process which makes major difference between displaystyle - C - 3 - and displaystyle - C - 4 - plants is-PhotorespirationRespirationGlycolysisCalvin cycle

Toppr Admin · Accepted Answer

C3 plants exhibit photorespiration owing to the affinity of  RuBisCo for oxygen which in turn causes loss of carbon by the formation of 2-phosphoglycolate in the chloroplast by oxygenation of ribulose-1-5 bisphosphate- Spatial separation of carbon dioxide fixation and-xA0-RuBisCo-xA0-activity in mesophyll and bundle sheath cells of C4 plants respectively avoids photorespiration by concentrating CO2 in bundle sheath cells to scale down the oxygenase activity of RuBisCo and increase its efficiency-xA0-Therefore- the correct answer is option A-
