Question #9c339

Answer 1

B) sugarcane

Explanation:

Sugarcane is a `C_4` plant which follows the `C_4` pathway, where, `CO_2` is initially fixed into oxaloacetate, a four carbon-containing compound, hence the name `C_4`.

These plants actively shuttle oxaloacetate to bundle sheath cells where `CO_2` is released and RUBISCO can use the free `CO_2` to initiate Calvin cycle. As these plants spatially separate the process of `CO_2` fixation and Calvin cycle, as a result, photorespiration (the process of `O_2` binding to RUBISCO) is reduced and thus improves the photosynthesis of the plants.
