Given below are two statements: Statement I: The primary CO2 acceptor in C4 plants is phosphoenolpyruvate and is found in the mesophyll cells. Statement II: Mesophyll cells of C4 plants lack RuBisCo enzyme. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
To solve this problem, we need to analyze the given statements:Statement I: The primary CO2 acceptor in C4 plants is phosphoenolpyruvate and is found in the mesophyll cells. - In C4 plants, the initial fixation of CO2 occurs in the mesophyll cells. - Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) acts as the primary CO2 acceptor, forming oxaloacetate. - This process is characteristic of C4 photosynthesis, which helps in reducing photorespiration. - Therefore, Statement I is correct.
