C3 and c4 plants in terms of the number of?

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 is the kranz anatomy?

Kranz means wreath in German. Kranz anatomy refers to an arrangement of bundle sheath cells surrounded by mesophyll cells in C4 plants. This arrangement ensures that mesophyll cells are no more than 2-4 cell layers away from the bundle sheath cells. Hence, the transport of C4 cycle metabolites is facilitated via plasmodesmata through these two cell types. Note that Kranz anatomy is not mandatory for C4 cycle.


The alternative pathways of photosynthesis using the C4 or CAM systems are said to be compromises Why?

Each one both minimises photorespiration and optimises the Calvin cycle.


What happens during the carbon fixation step of the Calvin cycle?

Products such as G3P or PGAL are produced in the Calvin cycle in C3, C4, and CAM plants. Carbon fixation helps each plant adapt to the particular environment they live in. C4 plants are those such as sugarcane or grasses. CAM plants are the cactus plants or plants that live in the desert. It also helps with the production of ATP.
