Shade tolerant plants have lower photosynthetic rates and hence, lower growth rates. On the other hand these plants have larger photosynthetic unit size than the sun plants.
Plants adapted to low light intensity have:

larger photosynthetic unit size than the sun plants
higher rate of CO2 fixation than the sun plants
more extended root system
leaves modified to spines.

Which of the following statements about RuBisCO is true?
Observe the given figure. Identify the different stages labelled with alphabets by selecting the correct option. 
Which one of the following products diffuses out of the chloroplast during photosynthesis?
Given below are two statements: Statement I: In $\mathrm{C}_3$ plants, some $\mathrm{O}_2$ binds to RuBisCO, hence $\mathrm{CO}_2$ fixation is decreased. Statement II: In $\mathrm{C}_4$ plants, mesophyll cells show very little photorespiration while bundle sheath cells do not show photorespiration. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
