Q. A process that makes important difference between C₃ and C₄ plants is
A) Photorespiration
B) Transpiration
C) Glycolysis
D) Photosynthesis
Explanation
[Solution from source] Photorespiration occurs in C₃ plants, where RuBisCO also acts as an oxygenase, but is almost absent in C₄ plants because CO₂ is concentrated around RuBisCO in the bundle sheath. Both types carry out photosynthesis, transpiration and glycolysis. Answer (1).
