Biology Question on Photosynthesis in higher plants

Question

Which is the most efficient converter of solar energy

Answer 1

Solution

C4 plants are more efficient than C3 plants. This is because C3 plants will undergo photorespiration. But C4 has kranz anatomy, which is a leaf structure. In this the arrangement of the cells in concentric rings around the leaf veins. C4 plants are a group of plants that have a photosynthetic pathway in order to optimise the carbon fixation even in high heat and light. Therefore the answer is sugarcane, which is a C4 plant.

So, the correct answer is (C): Sugarcane
