Tropical plants such as sugarcane show high efficiency of CO2 fixation because of:
Correct answer: B. Hatch-slack
- A. Calvin cycle
- B. Hatch-slack
- C. TCA-cycle
- D. All of these
Explanation
The high efficiency of carbon dioxide (CO2) fixation in C4 plants, including tropical plants like sugarcane, is indeed associated with the Hatch-Slack pathway. The Hatch-Slack pathway, also known as C4 photosynthesis, is a mechanism that allows these plants to efficiently fix carbon dioxide even under high temperatures and intense sunlight.
