Choose the correct combination.

What is the primary acceptor of CO2 in C4 plants?

Two independent experiments related to photosynthesis were conducted, one with -labelled water (experiment ) and the other -labelled (experiment ). Which one of the following options lists the first labelled products in experiments and respectively?

What is the first stable compound formed in a Calvin cycle?

What is the primary acceptor of in plants?

In photosynthetic carbon-fixation, which one of the following reacts with

Assertion (A): plants show greater productivity of biomass than plants.
Reason (R): Leaves of plants have "Kranz anatomy" where bundle sheath cells lack Rubisco enzyme. As a result, plants lack photorespiration.
