Which of these is incorrect for `C_(4)`-plants?

Options

A. Kranz anatomy
B. `CO_(2)` acceptor is PEP
C. PEPCase ln mesophyll
D. RuBisCO in mesophyll

Answer

D

Explanation

Among the given options, option (d) is incorrect about `C_(4)`-plants. The mesophyll cells of `C_(4)`-plants do not possess RuBisCO enzyme. `C_(4)`-plants show Kranz anatomy. In these plants, the initial fixation of `CO_(2)` occurs in mesophyll cells. The primary acceptor of `CO_(2)` is Phosphoenol Pyruvate or PEP. It combines with `CO_(2)` in the presence of PEP carboxylase or PEPCase to form oxaloacetic acid or oxaloacetate.
