Which enzyme captures carbon dioxide in the C4 pathway?

In the C4 pathway, PEP carboxylase captures CO2 efficiently, forming oxaloacetic acid. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.

Which enzyme is absent in mesophyll lls of Câ‚„ plants?

In Câ‚„ plants, RuBisCO is absent in mesophyll lls and is present only in bundle sheath lls. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.

Which molecule is transported from mesophyll lls to bundle sheath lls in Câ‚„ plants?

In Câ‚„ plants, malate is transported from mesophyll lls to bundle sheath lls, where it releases COâ‚‚ for the Calvin cycle. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.
