Solution

The plant in which carbon fixation and the Calvin cycle occur in separate cells is the C4 plant.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. In C4 plants, the process of carbon fixation and the Calvin cycle occur in different cells.

  2. The carbon fixation occurs in the mesophyll cells, which are located between the upper and lower layers of the leaf.

  3. The Calvin cycle, on the other hand, occurs in the bundle-sheath cells, which are deep in the leaf, surrounding the vascular bundles.

  4. The separation of these processes allows C4 plants to efficiently fix carbon in conditions of high light
