C4 Plant Cycle Specifics:
|
-uses the Calvin Benson Cycle in addition to a 2nd cycle
-C4 plants are more efficient than C3 in hot, sunny environments. -in C4, CO2 is pumped from one cell to another where the calvin benson cycle occurs (result is less photorespiration) -C4 plants can keep their stomata open so that they may photosynthesize efficiently. -C4 plants are more common as you move closer to the equator. -C4 is more costly (30-32 ATP per glucose molecule) |
