Q. Conversion of pyruvate into PEP takes place in
A) Mesophyll cell cytoplasm
B) Mesophyll cell chloroplast
C) Bundle sheath cell chloroplast
D) Bundle sheath cell cytoplasm
Explanation
Regeneration of PEP from pyruvate takes place in the bundle sheath cells and conversion of pyruvate in PEP takes plants in mesophyll cells Pyruvate + ATP $\underset{Kinase}{\overset{\ Phosphopyruvate\ }{\rightarrow}}PEP + AMP + H_{3}PO_{4}$
