Why is the delivery of carbon dioxide to rubisco faster in c4 plants than in c3 plants?

Because c4 plants have greater numbers of oxide tanks than c3 plants!
C4 plants also have a special enzyme called Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase more commonly known as PEP carboxylase. While rubisco can bind to both CO2 or O2 and thus making the reaction with CO2 go slower, PEP carboxylase only binds with CO2, making the number of reactions with CO2 greater.
In a hot area, plants close their stomata to conserve water. This will result in C3 plants running out of CO2 and starting to bind RuBP with O2 in rubisco, which is called photorespiration(does not make glucose). In C4 plants, PEP carboxylase ONLY binds with CO2 and when there still is not a lot of CO2 in the cell, it still can make glucose.

Why does exhaled air turn limewater chalky faster than inhaled water?
carbon dioxide turns lime water chalky. the more carbon dioxide, the faster the limewater turns chalky. Exhaled air contains carbon dioxide waste from the bodies organs, and that's why it contains more carbon dioxide than inhaled air.
Effect on plant growth by increasing carbon dioxide?
The effect of carbon dioxide to plant growth, when adding additional carbon dioxide is negative. My scientific discoveries prove that it may be to hard on the plant to process more carbon dioxide than its actually used to. Agree?
How does cutting down forests affect the carbon cycle?
It affects the carbon cycle because when photosynthesis happens plant take in Carbon Dioxide and release oxygen. When the trees in the forest are cut down photosynthesis is reduced. Meaning, carbon dioxide will remain in the air that we breathe.
What would happen to photosynthesis if there was no carbon dioxide?
Plant cells have mitochondria, actually, meaning they can perform cell respiration to make ATP, and carbon dioxide will be a bi-product. (Cell respiration is the process of using oxygen to make energy, and ATP is basically chemical energy.) Not all cells in a plant have mitochondria, though, and most of the larger plants won't be able to perform cell respiration quickly enough to survive. Eventually, carbon dioxide will replenish the air, but the most all of the survivors will be smaller vegetation. Also, animals primarily use cellular respiration to make ATP, since no animal has chloroplasts. They, too, will replenish the earth's supply of carbon dioxide, and at a much faster rate. However, if the earth suddenly became void of all animals, plant cells with mitochondria, and bacteria that perform cell respiration (the lot of them!), which is why the air had a deficiency of carbon dioxide, then all photosynthetic organisms would need to adapt to their new environment or die. But the earth will never have a deficiency of carbon dioxide, because organisms are made of carbon, the air consists of large quantities of oxygen, and carbon and oxygen (which, remember, always travels as O2) will randomly bond simply because they exist together. But to answer your question, photosynthesis cannot occur without carbon dioxide, so it simply wouldn't happen until carbon dioxide were present.
What is the definition of the science term Diffusion?
"An example of diffusion in biological system is diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide across the alveolar-capillary membrane in mammalian lungs(biologyonline.org)." And Also, Distance of Diffusion "The shorter the distance a gas travels, faster it can reach its destination  Oxygen and carbon dioxide need help Gases are transferred to blood This speeds up their delivery to individual cells (W.W. Norton & Company, Inc. DISCOVER BIOLOGY)."
What gas diffuses faster co or carbon dioxide?
carbon dioxide
Does Carbon dioxide diffuse faster than sulfur dioxide?
yes :p
Does warm carbon dioxide rise faster than cold carbon dioxide?
In an atmosphere of carbon dioxide, warm carbon dioxide would rise. Since carbon dioxide is better than twice as dense as air, it would need to be really hot before it would rise.
Which gas diffuses faster carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide?
CO diffuses faster than CO2 because it is a smaller molecule
When carbon dioxide levels elevate does the breathing become faster or slower?
It becomes faster, in order to get reed of extra carbon bi oxide.
What builds up in the blood that makes you breathe faster?
Carbon dioxide
How will increasing carbon dioxide around a plant make a difference in growth?
Plants absorb and feed off of carbon dioxide, so it will grow faster.
Which gas will diffuse faster methane or carbon dioxide?
Helium diffuses twice faster as Methane does.
What occurs when carbon dioxide is eliminated faster than it is produced?
Respiratory alkalosis
Do plants grow faster when you talk to them?
Yes, because the carbon dioxide you breathe out of your mouth.
What are two things in your body that moves oxygen into your blood faster?
CO2 and carbon dioxide
Breathing faster and deeper eliminates more carbon dioxide from the body than normal breathing under these circumstances what would happen?
more carbon dioxide will diffuse out of the blood
