Question

The C4 plants grow in the cold climate places.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was addressed to me during an internship interview.

This intriguing question comes from Chloroplast Function topic in division Chloroplast Structure and Function of Cell Biology

Answer 1

The correct answer is (b) False

To explain: C4 plants suppress photorespiration and thus require high light, high temperature and low carbon-dioxide conditions. Thus only a handful of C4 plants are found in cold climates. Most of them are found in temperate regions.
