The correct Answer is:
To determine which feature is associated with C4 plants, let's analyze the provided options step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding C4 Plants**: C4 plants have a unique photosynthetic pathway that allows them to efficiently fix carbon dioxide in conditions of high temperature and light intensity. They possess two types of photosynthetic cells: mesophyll cells and bundle sheath cells. 2. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option 1: High photorespiration**: C4 plants actually have low photorespiration due to their efficient carbon fixation mechanism. Therefore, this option is incorrect. - **Option 2: All green cells possess Calvin cycle enzymes**: The Calvin cycle enzymes are primarily present in the mesophyll cells of C4 plants, not in all green cells. Thus, this option is also incorrect. - **Option 3: Ability to tolerate high temperature**: C4 plants are well adapted to high temperatures and can efficiently photosynthesize under such conditions. This option is correct. - **Option 4: OAA is the initial product of CO2 fixation in bundle sheath cells**: OAA (oxaloacetate) is actually formed in the mesophyll cells and is not the initial product in bundle sheath cells. This option is incorrect. 3. **Conclusion**: The only feature that accurately describes C4 plants is their ability to tolerate high temperatures. ### Final Answer: The feature associated with C4 plants is their **ability to tolerate high temperature**. ---
