C4 pathway takes place on C4 plants to avoid the photorespiration process.
Explanation:
- The C4 plant is the plant which cycles the carbon dioxide into four carbon sugar compounds. The C4 pathway is necessary to avoid the wasteful process of photorespiration.
- This pathway makes plants efficient in hot dry climates and helps them to produce energy.
- The C4 pathway is performed to fix CO2 at low concentrations. These plants fix CO2 into a 4 carbon compound called oxaloacetate. This takes place in the mesophyll cells. Pineapple, sugar cane and corn C4 process takes place.
