The first stable product in CAM/C4 plants is
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Oxalo-acetic add
Most of the plants that are adapted to dry tropical regions have the C4 pathway. These plants are called C4 plants. Sugarcane, Maize, Sorghum, etc. are the examples of these plants.
Certain plants which have Crassulacean Acid metabolism (CAM) are known as CAM plants. They have scotoactive stomata. These plants fix carbon dioxide during the night but form sugars only during the day when RuBisCO is active. Sedum, Kalanchoe, Pineapple, Opuntia are the examples of CAM plants.
In CAM plants, carbon dioxide acceptor is Phosphoenol pyruvic acid (PEP) during the night and Ribulose bisphosphate (RUBP) is carbon dioxide acceptor during day time. In both plants, PEP carboxylase enzyme acts on carbon dioxide acceptor and forms Oxalo acetic acid (OAA) which is the first stable product.
