62. All of the following are characteristics of a C-4 plant EXCEPT: A) PEP carboxylase. B) transport of carbon dioxide and reducing power from the mesophyll cells to the bundle sheath cells. C) pyruvate-Pi dikinase. D) the expenditure of two high-energy phosphate bonds for each transport of carbon dioxide. E) carbon dioxide uptake in the daytime and fixation at night.

In $C_{4}$ photosynthesis, $a .3 \mathrm{PG}$ is the first product of $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ fixation. $b$. rubisco catalyzes the first step in the pathway. c. 4 -carbon acids are formed by PEP carboxylase in bundle sheath cells. $d .$ photosynthesis continues at lower $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ levels than in $\mathrm{C}_{3}$ plants. $e . \mathrm{CO}_{2}$ released from RuBP is transferred to PEP.

Which of the following is not a characteristic of C4 photosynthesis? Carbon dioxide is fixed into a 4-carbon compound. It involves the enzyme PEP carboxylase. It occurs in plants that are most abundant in temperate and cool regions. It occurs in plants having leaves with Kranz anatomy. It is more energetically expensive than C3 photosynthesis.
