RUB is CO is an enzyme that acts as both as a carboxylase and oxygenase. Why do you think RUB is CO carries out more carboxylation in `C_(4)` plants ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The bundle sheath cells in `C_(4)` plants are rich in RuB is CO but lack PEP case. Thus RuB is CO carries out more carboxylation.
