Question

The first carbon dioxide fixation in C4 pathway occurs in chloroplasts of (A) guard cells (B) mesophyll cells (C) bundle sheath cells (D) epidermal cells

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In C4 plants, initial CO2 Fixation occurs in mesophyll cells. The primary acceptor of CO2 is phosphoenol pyruvate (PEP). It combines with carbon dioxide in presence of PEP carboxylase to form oxaloacetic acid.
