Given below are two statements: Statement I: RuBisCO is the most abundant enzyme in the world. Statement II: Photorespiration does not occur in C4 plants. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:RuBisCO (ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase) is indeed considered the most abundant enzyme in the world, so Statement I is correct. In C4 plants, RuBisCO is localised in the bundle sheath cells where $CO_2$ concentration is kept high, effectively suppressing its oxygenase activity, so photorespiration does not occur (or is negligible) in C4 plants — Statement II is also correct.
