Is RuBisCO present in C4 plants?

Solution

RuBisCO:

  1. The accumulation of Rubisco solely within the chloroplasts of internalized bundle sheath cells that surround the leaf vascular centres is a key feature of Kranz-type C4 plants.
  2. RuBisCO can be found in C4 plants.
  3. RuBisCO, or ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase, catalyzes the Calvin cycle's initial step of carbon fixation.
  4. The Calvin cycle can also be found in C4 plants. In reality, C4 plants contain a mechanism that increases the concentration of CO2 surrounding the enzyme.
  5. RuBisCO to minimize photorespiration and reduce its oxygenase activity.
  6. Photosynthesis efficiency improves as a result of this.
