Q. 12
What is the basis for designating C3 and C4 pathways of photosynthesis?
Answer :
Carbon is fixed to a 3-carbon compound in case of C3 pathways, i.e. 3-PGA.In C4 pathways, on the other hand, carbon, i.e. oxaloacetic acid, is fixed in a four-carbon compound. Thus, number of carbon atoms in the end product is the basis for designating C3 and C4 pathways of photosynthesis.
