Description : Why does not photorespiration take place in C4 plants? -Biology

Last Answer : Photorespiration occurs due to the oxygenase activity of RuBisCO. When the concentration of O2 is high, RuBisCO binds to oxygen and carries out photorespiration. C4 plants have a mechanism of maintaining high CO2 concentration at the enzyme site, thus photorespiration does not occur

Description : What are C4 Plants? -Biology

Last Answer : C4 plants are plants which cycle carbon dioxide to 4-carbon sugar compounds in order to enter the C3 or the Calvin cycle. The C4 plants are very productive in climatic conditions that are hot and dry and produce a lot of energy.

Description : Examples of C4 plants -Biology

Last Answer : Examples of C4 plants include corn, sorghum, sugarcane, millet, and switchgrass. However, the C4 anatomical and biochemical adaptations require additional plant energy and resources than C3 ... and so in cooler environments, C3 plants are typically more photosynthetically efficient and productive.
