C4 plants are more efficient in photosynthesis than C3 plants due to

  1. higher leaf area
  2. presence of larger number of chloroplasts in the leaf cells
  3. presence of thin cuticle
  4. lower rate of photorespiration

Answer

(4) lower rate of photorespiration

Solution

As per NCERT, in C4 plants the CO2 concentration at the RuBisCO site (bundle sheath cells) is increased, so RuBisCO functions as a carboxylase and photorespiration does not occur.

∴ Productivity and yields are better in C4 plants because of the lower rate of photorespiration.

Answer: (4)
