Question

The C4 plants differ from C3 plants with reference to the (A) substrate that accepts CO2 in carbon assimilation (B) type of end product (C) type of pigment involved in photosynthesis (D) number of ATP that are consumed in preparing sugar

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Plants that utilise primarily RuBP to fix CO 2, which results in the formation of a 3 carbon compound (3 PGA) are called C 3 plants. Hatch and Slack proposed a new pathway in plants for CO 2 fixation via the carboxylation of PEP (phosphoenol pyruvate). Because the products are 4 carbon compound, the plants are known as C 4 plants.
