Assertin : `CO_(2)` is transported form mesophyll cell to bundle sheath of chloroplasts in `C_(4)` plants.
Reason : RbBP is called final acceptor of `CO_(2)` in `C_(4)` plants.

Options

A. If both the asserition and the reasion are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion
B. If both the assertion and reasoni s not a correct ecplanation of the assertio
C. If the assertion is true but the reason is false
D. If the assertion is false but reason is true

Answer

E

Explanation

Malic acid or aspartic acid is translocated to bundle sheath cells through plasmodesmata. Inside the bundle sheath cells they are decarboxylated (and deaminated in case of aspartic acid) to form pyruvate and `CO_(2)`. `CO_(2)` is again fixed inside the bundle sheath cells through Calvin cycle. RuBP of Calvin cycle is called secondary or final acceptor of `CO_(2)` in `C_(4)` Plants.
