In plants that use the C₄ pathway there is less likelihood for the occurrence of which process compared to plants that rely exclusively on the Calvin cycle? A) gluconeogenesis B) photorespiration C) the pentose phosphate pathway D) lipid anabolism

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Photorespiration is less likely in plants using the C4 pathway (implied by "C₄" which seems to be a typographical error for C4) compared to those relying solely on the Calvin cycle, because C4 plants have mechanisms to efficiently fix CO2 even under low CO2 concentrations, reducing the oxygenase activity of Rubisco.
