Is alfalfa a c-4 plant?
No, alfalfa is not a C4 plant. It is a C3 plant, which means it uses the C3 photosynthesis pathway. C4 plants have a different type of photosynthesis pathway that allows them to be more efficient in hot and dry conditions.
How does the hatch slack pathway compare with the Calvin cycle?
C3 carbon fixation or the Calvin cycle is a metabolic pathway for carbon fixation in photosynthesis. This process converts co2 and ribulose bisphosphate into 3-phosphoglycerate through the following reaction: 6 CO2 + 6 RuBP → 12 3-phosphoglycerate In C4 , carbon dioxide is drawn out of malate and into this reaction rather than directly from the air. Since every CO2 molecule has to be fixed twice, the C4 pathway is more energy-consuming than the C3 pathway. The C3 pathway requires 18 ATP for the synthesis of one molecule of glucose while the C4 pathway requires 30 ATP. But since otherwise tropical plants lose more than half of photosynthetic carbon in photorespiration, the C4 pathway is an adaptive mechanism for minimizing the loss.
What are two alternate carbon- fixing pathways used by plants in hot climates?
c4 and the cam pathway
Occurs in plants that have a specialized chemical pathway that allows them to capture even very low levels of carbon dioxide and pass it to the Calvin cycle?
C4 Photosynthesis
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.
What is the first stable intermediate of the C4 pathway?
malate
What is one of the disadvantages of the c4 pathway is that is require?
C4 plants that use the C4 pathway require more ATP and NADPH
Pathway of photosynthesis in maize?
C4
What is Ribulose-1?
Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate is a carbohydrate involved in the C4 pathway of plants.

What is C2 -C4 pathway?
There is no C2 plants, just C3, C4, and CAM plants - they have to do with the photosynthesis of the plant and how raw materials are transported.C2 pathway is photo respiratory pathway where oxygen is fixed by RuBisCo instead of CO2( asin normal photosynthetic plants or C3 plants)C2 because in photorespiration 2 carbon compound ( phosphoglycolate) is formed as a first productC3 are normal phortosynthetic plants , called C3 because 1st product in cycle formed is 3 carbon compound ( 3- phosphoglycerate) and nrmal Calvin cycle continuesC4 plants are those which have evolved mechanism to overcome photorespiration and use PEP carboxylase to fix carbon
Is corn c4 plant?
Corn, or maize, is a C4 plant. A c4 plant relates to a group of plants that feature 4-carbon molecules present after the first product of carbon fixation.
When was c4 invented?
C-4 explosive was developed in the early 1960s, specifically in 1963, by the U.S. Army as a replacement for the less stable Composition B explosive.
CO2 fixed into four carbon compounds?
C4 pathways has enzymes that can fix CO2 into 4 Carbon compounds even when the CO2 is low and the O2 is high. Those 4 Carbon compounds are then transported to other cells where the CO2 is released and enters the Calvin Cycle.
