Given below are two statements: Statement I: In C_3 plants, some O_2 binds to RuBisCO, hence CO_2 fixation is decreased. Statement II: In C_4 plants,…
Given below are two statements:
Statement I : In $\displaystyle \mathrm{C}_3$ plants, some $\displaystyle \mathrm{O}_2$ binds to RuBisCO, hence $\displaystyle \mathrm{CO}_2$ fixation is decreased.
Statement II : In $\displaystyle \mathrm{C}_4$ plants, mesophyll cells show very little photorespiration while bundle sheath cells do not show photorespiration.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
