C4 plants differ from C3 plants in respect to

Question

C4 plants differ from C3 plants in respect to (A) number of ATP used (B) substrate which accept the CO3 molecules (C) the final product (D) number of ATP formed

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In C3 plants, CO2 combines with RuBP to form phosphoglyceric acid, on the other hand in C4 plants, CO2 is first picked up by phosphoenol pyruvate (PEP) to form oxalocetic acid.

Q. $C_{4}$ plants differ from $C_{3}$ plants in respect to

number of ATP used

substrate which accept the $C O_{3}$ molecules

the final product

number of ATP formed

In $C_{3}$ plants, $C O_{2}$ combines with $R u BP$ to form phosphoglyceric acid, on the other hand in $C_{4}$ plants, $C O_{2}$ is first picked up by phosphoenol pyruvate $(PEP)$ to form oxalocetic acid.
