Ques. 1AIPMT 2003

In sugarcane plant 14CO2 is fixed to malic acid, in which the enzyme that fixes CO2 is

  1. ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase
  2. phosphoenolpyruvic acid carboxylase
  3. ribulose phosphate kinase
  4. fructose phosphate.

Answer

(2) phosphoenolpyruvic acid carboxylase

Solution

Sugarcane is a C4 plant.

As per NCERT, in mesophyll cells of C4 plants the primary CO2 acceptor is phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), and the enzyme for this fixation is PEP carboxylase (PEPcase).

⇒ PEP + CO2 → oxaloacetic acid, which is then converted to malic acid.

∴ The enzyme is phosphoenolpyruvic acid carboxylase.
