Answer:
Tomato / Bell pepper is a C3 plant.
Explanation:
- C3 plants produce 3-phosphoglycerate, which has three carbon atoms, as its initial byproduct. They are also referred to as temperate plants. These plants directly convert carbon dioxide in their chloroplasts.
- They may be annual or perennial. They contain a lot of proteins. Orchard grass, wheat, oats, and rye are a few examples of C3 plants.
- These plants perform the C3 cycle to convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into three carbon sugars. Plants may convert the three carbon molecules into nucleotides, amino acids, and complex sugars through a cycle of chemical reactions over time (starches).
- The carbon fixation process is what produces the majority of organic matter. The plants also use up the sugars produced in the C3 or Calvin cycle to store energy for a longer length of time.
- The C3 cycle is frequently described as a light-independent reaction that occurs during the photosynthesis process. This is due to the fact that photons from the Sun, which is the source of all light, are not directly delivered to the C3 cycle. Instead, ATP and NADPH, which are produced by using the energy received from photons in the light-dependent processes, power the C3 cycle.
- The Calvin cycle is successful in converting atmospheric carbon dioxide into carbon that living things can use to make proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleotides. It effectively removes carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, from the atmosphere.
- The C3 cycle gathers solar energy for the long-term storage of sugars that can then be utilized by plants and eaten by animals, laying the groundwork for the food chain.
