Where do C3cycle and C4 cycles occur? Which plants and which tissues? Why are they so called?
Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- Tabulate the difference between Hydrophobic and hydrophilic compounds, Provide examples. Where do C3cycle and C4 cycles occur? Which plants and which tissues? Why are they so-called?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?List the differences between C3 and C4 plants
- Give two examples (names) for each: C3, C4 and CAM plants. In what environments do you expect to find a C3, C4 or a CAM plant?How is the CAM pathway similar to C4 metabolism, and how is it different?If a C3 plant and a C4 plant are placed in separate sealedcontainers and provided with adequate light and water, bothwill survive. If both plants are placed in a single sealed container, the C3 plant will die. Explain.
- C4 and CAM plants Label the following.Describes the C4 pathway. Write a 1-2 paragraph narrative discussing, in general, the purpose and steps involved in the pathway. What advantages does this pathway provide for the plant?Compare and contrast the leaf structure of a C3 plant with that of a C4 plant.
- What is the special name of photosynthetic parenchyma cells? Which organelle is especially abundant in these? How does wall thinness affect carbon dioxide and light?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.By looking at a plant externally can you tell whether a plant is C3 or C4 ? Why and how?
