← Nature & AnimalsWhich circumstance suppresses the C4 carbon fixation pathway?
A)Elevated mesophyll carbon dioxide levels✓
B)Low bundle sheath carbon dioxide
C)High photorespiration enzyme concentration
D)Increased leaf vein xylem supply
💡 Explanation
Suppressed C4 carbon fixation occurs with elevated mesophyll CO2 concentration because this reduces reliance on PEP carboxylase and the spatial separation mechanism characteristic of C4; therefore C3 pathways become more efficient, rather than being bypassed by photosynthesis.
