Which mechanism explains heightened sugarcane growth rates in hot climates?

💡 Explanation

Sugarcane uses the C4 photosynthetic pathway, which minimizes photorespiration at high temperatures because PEP carboxylase efficiently fixes CO2. Therefore C4 plants thrive where C3 plants struggle, rather than relying on photorespiration or Rubisco alone.
