Mesophyll cells, which liberate malic acid at night time, are of :

  • C4 - plants

  • C3 - plants

  • C2 - plants

  • C1 - plants


A.

C4 - plants

The plants in which first stable product for the initial CO2 fixation in dark reaction, is malic acid are known as C4 -plants. During night time, carbon dioxide combines with phosphoenol pyruvic acid (PEPA) to form oxaloacetic acid in mesophyll chloroplasts which converts to malic acid.
