Question

Assertion (A) C4 plants can survive in high temperature. Reason (R) PEP Case enzyme works at high temperature only. (A) If both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A (B) If both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A (C) If A is true, but R is false (D) If A is false, but R is true

Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

PEP

carboxylase is the primary

C O_{2}

acceptor in

C_{4}

- plants and this enzyme works at high temperature only. Thus,

C_{4}

-plants can survive in high temperature.

Q. Assertion (A) C4​ plants can survive in high temperature. Reason (R) PEP Case enzyme works at high temperature only.

If both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

If both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

If A is true, but R is false

If A is false, but R is true

Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion. PEP carboxylase is the primary CO2​ acceptor in C4​ - plants and this enzyme works at high temperature only. Thus, C4​-plants can survive in high temperature.

Q. Assertion (A) $C_{4}$ plants can survive in high temperature.
Reason (R) PEP Case enzyme works at high temperature only.

Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
$PEP$ carboxylase is the primary $C O_{2}$ acceptor in $C_{4}$ - plants and this enzyme works at high temperature only. Thus, $C_{4}$ -plants can survive in high temperature.
