What of the following is a disadvantage of C4 photosynthesis relative to C3 photosynthesis? A) inability of rubisco to obtain O₂ B) need for energy to move fixed carbon in C4 compound into bundle sheath cells C) need for stomata to close to conserve H₂O D) need for energy to move H₂O into bundle sheath cells E) inability of ATP synthase to utilize H⁺ gradient for energy

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

C4 photosynthesis requires additional energy to transport fixed carbon from mesophyll cells to bundle sheath cells, making it energetically more costly than C3 photosynthesis.
