Concept explainers

Photosynthesis

Plants have a capacity that we humans can only imagine— the ability to produce food from sunlight. Sure, we can prepare some dishes that we can savor on, but it become possible because of the plants (as they serve as a producers of all the raw materials required). Photosynthesis is the method of assembling carbohydrates with the aid of sunlight.

Question

If a C3 plant and a C4 plant are placed in separate sealed
containers and provided with adequate light and water, both
will survive. If both plants are placed in a single sealed container, the C3 plant will die. Explain.

In C4 plants, CO2 fixation occurs by adding electrons and a hydrogen ion when splitting water in bundle sheath cells. by joining CO2 to a C3 molecule and pumping it into bundle sheath cells. by splitting water only in bundle sheath cells. by oxidizing a C4 molecule with O2 derived from bundle sheath cells.

why is the phytochrome receptor of plant cells blue in color?
It is the term referring to the characteristic leaf structure of C4 plants that enables them to outperform C3 plants in an environment that has high O2 concentration and/or temperature. Unlike C3 and CAM plants, C4 plants, such as corn and sugarcane, have leaves with vascular bundles that are surrounded by a chloroplast-rich vascular bundle sheath, which is further surrounded by the spongy mesophyll.
Why are some plants called C4 plants and why are they important? How have they adapted to unfavorable climatic conditions? How do the activities of C4 plants compare with the activities of CAM plants?
