Question:medium

What is the enzyme responsible for carboxylation in C4 plants?

Show Hint

Remember the primary carbon-fixing enzymes:
- C3 Plants: RuBisCO (fixes \( \text{CO}_2 \) to Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate).
- C4 Plants: PEP Carboxylase (fixes \( \text{CO}_2 \) to Phosphoenolpyruvate).
  • Phosphoenol pyruvic acid (PEP) carboxylase
  • Phosphophenol pyruvic acid (PEP) carboxylase
  • Phospho pyruvic acid (PEP) carboxylase
  • Phosphanol pyruvic acid (PEP) carboxylase
