C4 got its named based on the number of bicarbon molecules. C4 has oxaloacetate which is 4C. C4 is the type of plant that can stand heat better.

What does c4 plants make when malate in the mesophyll cells that enters bundle sheath cells?

When malate in the mesophyll cells enters bundle sheath cells in C4 plants, it undergoes decarboxylation to produce pyruvate and CO2. This CO2 is then used in the Calvin cycle within the bundle sheath cells to produce sugars, while the pyruvate is recycled back to the mesophyll cells to continue the C4 cycle.


Examples of c3 and c4 plants?

Examples of C3 plants include wheat, rice, and soybeans, which use the Calvin cycle for photosynthesis. Examples of C4 plants include maize, sugarcane, and sorghum, which utilize the C4 pathway for carbon fixation in photosynthesis, improving water-use efficiency.


Is crabgrass a c4 plant?

Yes, crabgrass is a C4 plant. C4 plants have a specialized mechanism for carbon fixation that allows them to adapt to hot and dry conditions, making them well-suited for growth in environments where C3 plants may struggle.


How does the special leaf anatomy of the C4 plant support C4 photosynthesis?

The special leaf anatomy of C4 plants, including the presence of Kranz anatomy (bundle sheath cells surrounding mesophyll cells), helps to spatially separate initial carbon fixation (by PEP carboxylase in mesophyll cells) from the Calvin cycle (in bundle sheath cells). This separation reduces photorespiration and improves the efficiency of carbon fixation, especially in high-temperature and high-light conditions.


C3 and C4 plants differ in terms of the number of?

C3 plants have 3 carbon molecules in their first stable compound during photosynthesis, while C4 plants have 4 carbon molecules in their first stable compound. This difference affects the efficiency of carbon fixation and allows C4 plants to perform photosynthesis at a higher rate in hot and dry conditions.

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 evolutionary adaptations to the Calvin cycle are seen in C4 plants?

C4 plants have evolved anatomical and biochemical adaptations to concentrate CO2 in specific bundle sheath cells, where the Calvin cycle operates. This spatial separation of the Calvin cycle from initial CO2 fixation results in increased photosynthetic efficiency, reduced photorespiration, and improved water use efficiency in C4 plants compared to C3 plants.

In the C4 pathway the first stable intermediate is?

The first stable intermediate in the C4 pathway is oxaloacetate. It is involved in capturing carbon dioxide in mesophyll cells to form a 4-carbon compound, which is then transported to bundle-sheath cells for further processing in the Calvin cycle.


How did c4 get its name?

C4, or Composition C-4, derives its name from "Composition" and the letter "C," indicating it is the fourth in a series of similar explosives developed by the U.S. military. The "C" in its name refers to its chemical composition, while the "4" signifies that it is the fourth formulation in the series. C4 is primarily composed of RDX (cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine) mixed with plasticizers and other additives, making it a highly stable and effective explosive.


What do c3 and c4 plants have in common?

C3 and C4 plants are both categories of plants based on the type of photosynthetic pathway they use. Both types of plants undergo the Calvin cycle to fix carbon dioxide and produce sugar during photosynthesis. However, C4 plants have an additional carbon-concentrating mechanism that allows for more efficient photosynthesis in hot and dry conditions compared to C3 plants.

Yes, but if you die, you drop the C4.
