C3 Plants
The leaves donot possess krans anatomy.
Chloroplasts do not have peripheral reticulum
Chloroplasts are one type of (monomorohic)
Bundle sheath cells usually do not contain chloroplants.
In higher plants, operating C3 cycle, the chloroplasts area ll granal and have photosystem I and II.
Mesophyll cells perform complete photosynthesis.
Perform photosynthesis only when stomata are open.
C3 plants are less efficient in photosynthesis.
C4 Plants: The plants exhibiting C4 pathway are called C4 plants. C4 Plants live in hot moist or arid and nonsaline habitats. It occurs in Grasses, Sugar cane, Maize, Sorghum, Amarathus and Atriplex.
The leaves have krans anatomy.
Chloroplasts have peripheral reticulum.
Chloroplasts are types of dimorohic)
Bundle sheath cells usually possess prominent chloroplants.
There are two types of chloroplasts, granal in mesophyll and agranal in bundle sheath cells. They lack photosystem II.
Mesophyll cells perform only initial fixation.
Perform photosynthesis even when stomata are closed.
C4 plants are more efficient in photosynthesis
