Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In Figure 10.3, we can see that cell II has special adaptations to minimize the amount of oxygen that reaches the CO₂ fixation reactions. Specifically, it has a C₄ carbon fixation pathway and bundle sheath cells that provide an extra barrier to prevent oxygen from reaching the CO₂ fixation enzyme (RuBisCO). Therefore, oxygen would inhibit the CO₂ fixation reactions in cell II only.
