C4 Plant


The corn plant is an example of a C4 Plant. In plants, the first step of the Calvin Cycle is carbon fixation. When most plants undergo carbon fixation they form a 3 carbon compound. However, C4 plants form a 4 carbon compound. C4 plants are found in hot and dry environments, and they use an alternate mode of carbon fixation that minimizes photorespiration and optimizes the Calvin Cycle.




- The Carbon Cycle
Carbon Cycles:Carbon can travel from the atmosphere into many place such as plants like grass. At this point in time, the carbon dioxide is either released back into the atmosphere or if the plant dies, it is put into the soil. Even after this, the carbon...

- Q: Outline The Main Features Of A Krebs Cycle
The Krebs cycle occurs in the matrix of the mitochondrion. It occurs only in aerobic conditions, that is, only when oxygen is present. Its main function is to oxidise acetyl CoA generated from glycolysis. In the Krebs cycle, acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate...

- #103 The Light-independent Reactions (calvin Cycle)
The light-independent reactions take place in the stroma of the chloroplast, where the enzyme ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase, usually known as rubisco, is found. 1. Carbon fixation CO2 diffuses into the stroma from the air spaces within the...
