They are named after the number of carbons of the first product of their carbon fixation cycle (the cycle used to make plant sugars).
C4 plants have a more elaborate carbon fixation cycle of C3 and reduces photorespiration. They are thought to have evolved more recently than C3 plants.

What do c3 and c4 plants have in common?
C3 and C4 plants are named after the number of carbon molecules in the first products of their carbon fixation cycles. C3 plants produce 3-phosphoglycerate and C4 plants produce Oxaloacetate.
Are tomatoes C3 or C4 plants?
C3
Are C4 plants larger than C3 plants?
c3
What is the value of Carbon dioxide compensation point in C3 and C4 plants respectively?
Around 50ppm for C3 plants and around 5ppm for C4 plants.
How do C4 and C3 plants differ?
c4 plants have first product of calvin cycle is oxaloacetic acid but in c3 plants is phospfoglyceric acid
What would be the expected effect on plants if the atmospheric co2 concentration was doubled?
Since C4 plants need for CO2 is more than C3 plants, doubling the concentration of CO2 will have more positive effect on C4 plants. If CO2 is a limiting factor for photosynthesis, both C3 & C4 plants will have positive effect.
Are C3 or C4 plants aquatic?
The plants which live in water are aquatic plants.
Are zonal geraniums C3 plants?
yes more like c4 plants
In what climates do C4 and C3 fixation happen more efficiently?
In hot, arid conditions, C3 and C4 plants have to partially close their stomata to reduce water loss. However, this inhibits photosynthesis. Therefore, C3 and C4 plants are photosynthetically more efficient in more temperate environments.
C3 and C4 plants differ in terms of the number of?
one is BIGGER and the other is smaller, maybe or its the Calvin cycle i think.....
Is sunflower c3 or c4 plant?
c4
Why C4 plants efficient in law water than C3 plants?
the question doesn't make sense
