Sugarcane shows high efficiency of CO₂ fixation because it performs

A. Calvin cycle

B. EMP pathway

C. Hatch and Slack pathway

D. TCA cycle

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Sugarcane shows the high efficiency of CO₂ fixation because it performs Hatch and Slack pathways.
C₄ plants including maize, sugarcane, and sorghum avoid photorespiration by using another enzyme called PEP during the first step of carbon fixation.
This step takes place in the mesophyll cells that are located close to the stomata where carbon dioxide and oxygen enter the plant.
