Essential carboxylating compound, PEPcase in C4 plants is found in cytoplasm of mesophyll cells. Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPcase) catalyzes the obsession of carbon dioxide with phosphoenolpyruvate to create oxaloacetate and inorganic phosphate.
Q. Who is the famous plant scientist?
Robert Hooke (1635 – 1703), English naturalist: using an early microscope discovered cells in living plant tissue. Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778): Swedish botanist, the father of modern taxonomy. Augustin Pyramus de Candolle (1778–1841), Swiss botanist: originated the idea of “Nature’s war”, which influenced Charles Darwin.

Q. Who was a botanist?
A botanist is a scientist who studies plants, including flowering plants, and plant-like things such as moss and seaweed. Botany is a scientific study of plants along with their growth, structure, evolution, and uses.
Q. What are the topics in botany?
Subdisciplines of Botany
- Agronomy and Crop Science. This is an agricultural science dealing with field crop production and soil management.
- Algology and Phycology. This is the study of algae.
- Bacteriology.
- Bryology.
- Mycology.
- Paleobotany.

Q. Where is Pepcarboxylase found?
chloroplasts
Q. Does C4 plants have Rubisco?
There is no rubisco in the mesophyll cells. Thus in C4 plants, C4 carbon fixation has a net added cost of 1 ATP for every CO2 delivered to rubisco; however, C4 plants are less likely to die of dehydration compared to C3 plants in dry conditions.
Q. Which plant cell contains Rubisco?
mesophyll cells
