Question

In C4 plants, CO2 combines with: (A) phosphoglyceraldehyde (B) phosphoglyceric acid (C) phosphoenol pyruvate (D) none of the above

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In C4 plants, CO2 combines in phosphoehole pyruvate (PEP) a 3C compound to form 4C compound oxaloacetic acid. The reaction is catalyzed by PEP carboxylase.

Q. In $C_{4}$ plants, $C O_{2}$ combines with:
