Given below are two statements:Statement I: The primary 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:

  1. A
    Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
  2. B
    Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
  3. C

    Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

1. Statement I is correct: In C4 plants, PEP () reacts with in the mesophyll to form OAA ().2. Statement II is correct: To avoid photorespiration, C4 plants separate PEPcase and RuBisCo. PEPcase is in the mesophyll, while RuBisCo is found only in the bundle sheath cells, not the mesophyll.Both statements are accurate.
