C3 plants are those plants in which they produce a three carbon compound in the process of photosynthesis. Whereas C4 plants produce a four carbon compound which has to further split into a three carbon compound. The difference in these plants is how carbon dioxide is extracted from sunlight. C4 plants are better suited to survive in hot and arid climates as the stomata open in night and closed during the day. This adaptation is to minimise water loss during the day. Moreover C4 plants have a greater concentration of carbon helping in the photosynthesis process.
Which of the following statement is true about C3 and C4 plants? Multiple Choice A C3 plants are more successful in hot climates than C4 plants. B In C4 cells, CO2 is fixed at night to decrease water loss.C C3 plants deliver CO2 to the Calvin cycle using bundle sheath cells sheltered from leaf air spaces. D In C3 plants, O2 competes with CO2 for the active site of RuBP carboxylase. E C3 plants have chloroplasts in the both the...
Compare and contrast how C4 plants and CAM plants separate the acquisition of CO2 from the production of sugar in the Calvin cycle. Chapter 10 Question 11 Compare and contrast how C4 plants and CAM plants separate the acquisition of CO2 from the production of sugar in the Calvin cycle. Part A What do they have in common? Check all that apply. They generates an organic acid with four carbons by fixing CO2 to a 3-carbon molecule by rubisco. Both...
Building Vocabulary: Plant Adaptations to Hot, Dry Climates 6 of C3 photosynthesis photorespiration 1. In plants, the first product of carbon fixation is the three-carbon compound 3-PGA formed in the Calvin cycle 2. When such plants close their stomata on hot, dry days to conserve water leaf and is added to RuBP in place of CO2 A two-carbon product of this reaction is broken down to Co2 consuming ATP and generating no sugar 3. The apparently wasteful process described in...
Comparing the physiological differences between C4, CAM and C3 plants, explain the reasons that C4 and CAM plants tend to be found more at low latitudes than at higher latitudes.
Define what C3 and C4 plants are and then compare how these two types of plants synthesize carbohydrates.
How can plant hair be a burden for plants in hot climate and cold climates
In photosynthesis C3, plants differ from C4 plants in: A.) the way they capture light. B.) the way they capture carbon dioxide. C.) the kind of chlorophylls they have. D.) None of the choices is correct.
Contrast the body-temperature responses of humans and Arabian oryxes during exposure to a hot-arid desert. In each case, state implications for water balance. Include both day and night in your analysis.
Which of these features are characteristic to fixation of CO2 in C3, C4, and both types of plants? Ribulose 1,5-biphosphate is regenerated in reactions involving tranketolases CO2 is obtained through decarboxylation of oxaloacetate CO2 is fixed in a reaction catalyzed by by rubisco Glycolate is converted into glycine Formation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate from 3-phosphoglycerate requires NADPH and ATP Glucose-6-phosphate is synthesized from 3-phosphoglycerate Choose... both C4 C3 Choose... + Choose Choose Check Which of these features are characteristic to fixation...
. Describe why CAM plants have an advantage over C3 plants in the desert and why C4 plants have an advantage over C3 plants in tropical climates. (Be sure to discuss the relevance of photosynthetic enzymes and their location, photorespiration, water use efficiency, and stomatal behavior and leaf anatomy.) 4. Thinking about anatomy, morphology, and “behavior” describe ways that plant leaves are adapted to intercepting light, increasing CO2 diffusion while reducing water loss. 5. In general terms, describe the characteristics...
