Q. Malic acid or aspartic acid and oxaloacetic acid both are found in

A) Mesophyll cell
B) Bundle sheath cell
C) Bundle sheath cell wall
D) Mesophyll cell wall
Explanation

Mesophyll cell. After the fixing of $CO_{2}$ to Oxaloacetic Acid (OAA) in $C_{4}$ cycle, the oxaloacetic acid changes into the malic aspartic acid $OAA + NADPH\overset{\ Malic\ acid\ dehydrogenase\ }{\rightarrow}$ Malic acid + $NADP^{+}$ $OAA + NH_{3} + NADPH\overset{\ Transaminase\ }{\rightarrow}$ Aspartic acid + $NADP^{+} + H_{2}O$ Both of these reactions occur in mesophyll cell
