Which contribute more to warming c3 or c4 plants


The increase in Carbon dioxide concentration of the earth's atmosphere is one of the major contributors to global warming.



 The C3 plants have been found to play a role in warming,considering that they waste CO2 into the atmosphere rather than use it to make food. For this reason, one of the strategies to save the planet becomes decreasing the dependency of people on C3 plants and increasing the use and need for C4 plants.



Because of Photorespiration that occurs in C4 plants, CO2 is not wasted and is instead used in creating food. However, in C3 plants CO2 is wasted making these plants major contributors to warming compared to C4 plants.
