Which outcome results when mesophyll cells are impaired in C4 plants?

A)Photorespiration increases significantly in bundle sheath
B)CO2 is prematurely fixed via RuBisCO
C)Water use efficiency will have marked increase
D)Initial carbon fixation shifts locations readily

💡 Explanation

Photorespiration increases because C4 plants utilize spatial separation, where initial fixation occurs in mesophyll and the Calvin cycle in bundle sheath; therefore, disrupting mesophyll function raises photorespiration rates rather than enhancing water use efficiency.
