Assertion: In `C_(4)` plants, the bundle sheath cells are rich in an enzyme phosphoate carboxylase-oxygenase (RuBisCO).

Answer

D

Explanation

The primary `CO_(2)` acceptor in `C_(4)` cycle is a 3-carbon molecule phosphoenol pyruvate (PEP) present in the mesophyll cells. The enzyme responsible for this fixation is PEP carboylase or PEPCase. The mesophyll cells lack RuBisCO enzyme. The `C_(4)` acid OA A is formed in the mesophyll cels. The `CO_(2)` released in the bundle sheath cells enter the `C_(2)` or the Calvin pathway, a pathway common to all plats. the bundle cells are rich in an enzyme Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygennase (RuBisCO), but lack PEPCase.
