C4 photosynthesis pathway is not in
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
A
The C4 photosynthesis pathway is not in potatoes.
The C4 pathway acts as a mechanism to build up high concentrations of carbon dioxide in the chloroplasts of the bundle sheath cells.
The resulting higher level of internal carbon dioxide in these chloroplasts serves to increase the ratio of carboxylation to oxygenation, thus minimizing photorespiration.
Potato is classified as C3 plants that assimilate atmospheric CO2 directly through the C3 photosynthetic pathway.
