Advantage of c4 photosynthesis biology discussion
Answers
Advantages of C₄ Photosynthesis :-
- They can tolerate saline conditions due to abundant of occurrence of organic acids (Malic & Oxaloacetic acid) in them which lower water potential than that of soil.
- C₄ Plants have an ability to perform Photosynthesis even when there Stomata is/are closed Due to Strong CO₂ fixing Enzyme( PEPcase).
- The arrangement of cells is in concentric Form produces a Smaller area for better Water utilisation as in C₃ water is not utilised Efficiently.
- The primary Acceptor of CO₂ in C₃ photosynthesis is RuBP - a five carbon Compound.
- The stable compound Formed in the C₃ pathway is 3 - phosphoglycerate.
- C₃ Photosynthesis usually occurs in Mesophyll cells of the Leaves.
- C₃ Pathway is very slow Process of Carbon Fixation.
