RuBP carboxylase is a less efficent enzyme for `CO_(2)` fixation in photosynthesis than PEP carboxylase because:

A

rubp is less predominant than pep in a mesophyll cell

B

rubp is a 4 carbon sugar phosphate while pep is a phosphorylated 3 carbon organicacid

C

km value of rubp carboxylase for `CO_(2)` is higher than that of pep carboxylase

D

the molecular weight of rubp carboxylase is larger than that of pep carboxylase
