New cards

C4 plants

plants that avoid photorespiration with spatial separation of steps

2
New cards

C4 spatial separation

CO₂ fixation occurs in mesophyll cells; Calvin cycle occurs in bundle sheath cells

3
New cards

mesophyll cell function (C4)

fix CO₂ into a 4-carbon molecule

4
New cards

4-carbon molecule transport

4-carbon molecule moves to bundle sheath cells

5
New cards

bundle sheath cell function

releases concentrated CO₂ for use in the Calvin cycle

6
New cards

C4 benefit

high CO₂ levels around rubisco prevent photorespiration
