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 product

C3 are normal phortosynthetic plants , called C3 because 1st product in cycle formed is 3 carbon compound ( 3- phosphoglycerate) and nrmal Calvin cycle continues

C4 plants are those which have evolved mechanism to overcome photorespiration and use PEP carboxylase to fix carbon

What is C2 plants?

C3 plants refer to a type of plant that uses the C3 carbon fixation pathway during photosynthesis. This pathway is less efficient in hot and arid conditions compared to the C4 pathway used by C4 plants.

Where does the c4 cycle get its name?

The C4 cycle gets its name because the first compound produced in the pathway is a C4 molecule called oxaloacetate. This cycle is also known as the Hatch-Slack pathway, named after the scientists who first described it. It is a photosynthetic pathway used by certain plants to fix carbon dioxide efficiently in conditions of high temperature and low carbon dioxide levels.


What is one of the disadvantages of the c4 pathway is that is require?

One disadvantage of the C4 pathway is that it requires additional energy in the form of ATP for the initial steps of carbon fixation in mesophyll cells before transferring the fixed carbon to bundle sheath cells. This extra ATP requirement can decrease overall photosynthetic efficiency compared to C3 plants.

Is Maize a CAM plant?

No, maize is not a CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) plant. Maize follows the C4 photosynthetic pathway, which is different from the CAM pathway in terms of carbon fixation and timing of metabolic processes.

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.
