Chapter 10.4, Problem 2CC
The presence of only PS I, not PS II, in the bundle-sheath cells of C4 plants has an effect on O2 concentration. What is that effect, and how might that benefit the plant?

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?
Where do C3cycle and C4 cycles occur? Which plants and which tissues? Why are they so called?
