Q. Which of the following statement is false in case of $(C_{4}$-plant)?
A) $CO_{2}$ acceptor is RuBisCo in mesosphyll cell
B) Carboxylation occurs in mesophyll cells
C) Leaves have two cell types
D) Mesophyll cells lack Rubisco
Explanation
$C_{4}$-plants have Kranz anatomy, which includes bundle sheath cells and mesophyll cells. In case of $C_{4}$ plants, the primary $CO_{2}$ acceptor is a 3-carbon molecule. i.e., phosphoenol pyruvate and is present in the mesophyll cells
