Adi S.
Both C4 plants and C3 plants a. keep CO2 levels high around rubisco b. use rubisco to carboxylate RuBP c. use PEP carboxylase to form oxaloacetate d. keep PEP carboxylase in the mesophyll cells e. express rubisco in bundle sheath cells
Qudsiya A.
Photorespiration is avoided in $\mathrm{C}_{4}$ plants because a. these plants separate the formation of a four-carbon molecule from the rest of the Calvin cycle in different cells. b. these plants carry out only anaerobic respiration. c. the enzyme PEP carboxylase functions to maintain high $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ concentrations in the bundle-sheath cells. d. all of the above. e. a and c only.
