Q771
C4 plants differ from C3 plants in
A.
Number of ATPs consumed per hexose molecule
AnswerB.
Type of one product
C.
Type of pigments
D.
Substrate for CO2 in carbon assimilation
Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
C4 plants differ from C3 plants in the number of ATPs consumed per hexose molecule.C4 carbon fixation is one of three known photosynthetic processes of carbon fixation in plants while the C3 cycle is a series of biochemical redox reactions that take place in the stroma of chloroplast in photosynthetic organisms.
Both cycles require ATP for their process, but they differ in the number of ATP required. C4 plants need 12 ATP's more than C3 plants to synthesize per hexose molecule.
