Question 4 • 5120VB Environmental Science Sem B- B

Which of the following statements about C4 carbon fixation is not true?

Answer
A
C4 carbon fixation is an adaptation for plants exposed to high light intensity.
B
C4 carbon fixation occurs in more plants than C3 carbon fixation.
C
C4 carbon fixation is more common in areas of high temperatures than C3 carbon fixation.
D
C4 carbon fixation occurs in the inner cells of a leaf rather than the entire leaf.

Explanation

C3 photosynthesis occurs in the majority of plant species, while C4 photosynthesis is found in a smaller group adapted especially to hot, bright conditions. So the statement that C4 carbon fixation occurs in more plants than C3 carbon fixation is not true. The other statements describe common features of C4 plants, including their specialization in particular leaf cells.
