Introduction
There are many differnt aspects of c3 and c4 plants.
Task
C3 plants fix CO2 to G3P.C4 plants fix CO2 to oxaloacetate. C4 plants live in adverse environments.
the C3 plant has the calvin cycle and the c4 plant has (hatch and slack) cycle.
The c3 cycle happens in all plants while to c4 cycle only happens in C4 plants.The primary Co2 acceptor is Ribulose bu phosphte ( 5 Carbon compound) meanwhile the c4 primary CO2 acceptor is phosphoenal pyruvix acid( a 3 carbon acompund.For C3 plants the carboxylase enzyme is Rubisco meanwhile the carboxylase enzyme is PEP carbnocylase and Rubisco.C3 plants have 1 CO2 fixation and C4 and 2. C4 pplants fixation are fast and more effiecint then the C3 fixation is slow and less effcient.For c3 plants fixation of 1 molecule of Co2 needs 3 ATP and 2NADH meanwhile C4 plants need 5 ATP and 3 NADH.C3 plants cant not operate under very low Co2 concentration meanwhile c4 plants can.
