What specialized structure is found in C4 plants?
C4 plants have concentric rings of mesophyll cells around vascular bundle sheath in the leaves.
What plants utilize a specialized carbon fixation enzyme and a unique cell structure to reduce the problems of photo respiration?
C4
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.
When do c4 plants keep their stomata closed?
The C4 plants tend to keep their stomata closed during the day to conserve water.
Are C3 or C4 plants aquatic?
The plants which live in water are aquatic plants.
What specialized structure is found in C4 plants?

Is wheat a C4 plant?
Technically, the answer is no because it does not have the anatomical structure of C4 plants. However, it has adaptation similar to C4 plants with regard to carbon dioxide use efficiency. (Ref. Mineral nutrition of higher plants : 2nd edt : pg 140)

How does the special leaf anatomy of the C4 plant support C4 photosynthesis?
Look in your book, page 119.
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.
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.
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
When do c4 plants keep their stomata closed?
The C4 plants tend to keep their stomata closed during the day to conserve water.
Are C4 plants larger than C3 plants?
c3
Are C3 or C4 plants aquatic?
The plants which live in water are aquatic 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
