In what ways does photosynthesis in C 4 plants differ from photosynthesis in C 3

Question

In what ways does photosynthesis in C4 plants differ from photosynthesis in C3 plants?

In what ways does photosynthesis in C_4 plants differ from photosynthesis in C_3 plants? C_4 plants do not produce sugars as efficiently as C_3 plants during cool, wet conditions. C_4 plants open their stomata at night so they can obtain carbon and minimize water loss. C_4 plants can continue to make sugars on hot, dry days when the stomata are closed. C_4 plants need some cells that fix carbon and other cells that use carbon to build sugars.

Explanation / Answer

Ans:

Photosynthesis in C4 plants differ from photosynthesis in C3 plants in ways such as:

C4 plants can continue to make sugars on hot, dry days when the stomata are closed.

Explanation:

-C4 plants are adapted to hot and dry areas.

-During hot, dry weather, excess water diffuses out and under these conditions, plants face some dessication if the stomata left open continuously.
