Detailed Solution

C4 plants have kranz anatomy in which the total process of photosynthesis involves two types of cells. The mesophyll cells lack the RuBisCO enzyme. In the place of RuBisCO, it has a 3-carbon molecule phosphoenol pyruvate (PEP) as the primary CO2 acceptor.

The enzyme responsible for this fixation is PEP carboxylase or PEPcase. It is important to register that the CO2 released in the bundle sheath cells enters the C3 or the Calvin pathway, a pathway common to all plants. The bundle sheath cells are rich in the enzyme Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (RuBisCO), but lack the PEP case enzyme.
