A comparison of C3, C4 and CAM plants
C3 vs C4 vs CAM plants)
C3 plantsC3 vs C4 vs CAM plants)
1. Found in all photosynthetic plants.
2. Plants that use the cycle can be hydrophytic, mesophytic and xerophytic.
3. Photoactive Stomata
4. High rate of Photorespiration
5. Normal Leaf anatomy
6. For the synthesis of glucose molecule or 6CO2 fixation:12 NADPH and 18 ATPs are required.
7. Single CO2 fixation occurs
8. Primary CO2 atmospheric acceptor RUBP
9. First stable product 3PGA
10. First enzyme involved RUBISCO
11. Carbon dioxide compensation point: 30-70PPM

C4 Plants
1. Only in tropical plants.
2. Plants that use the cycle can be mesophytic
3. Photoactive Stomata
4. Photorespiration: less or negligible
5. Kranz anatomy
6. 12 NADPH and 30 ATPs are required.
7. Double carbon dioxide fixation
8. Atmosphere Co2 acceptor- PEP(In mesophyll cell) and Metabloic Co2 acceptor-RUBP(In bundle sheath cell)
9. First stable product OAA (Oxalo acetic acid)
10.First enzyme involved PEP Carboxylase
11. CO2 compensation point: 10PPM

CAM Plants
1. Specially in succulents growing under semi arid condition.
2. Plants that use the cycle can be xerophytic
3. Scotoactive Stomata
4. Photorespiration: least or negligible
5. Xeromorphic
6. 12 NADPH and 39 ATPs are required.
7. Double carbon dioxide fixation
8. Atmosphere Co2 acceptor- PEP(During night) and Metabloic Co2 acceptor-RUBP(during day time)
9. First stable product OAA (Oxalo acetic acid)
10.First enzyme involved PEP Carboxylase
11. CO2 compensation point: 5PPM

hi

genial
me gusto la información.
How can I cite your page?
I always cite things with easybib.com, but there are many more providers of citation engines.
this is cracking, thanks
lol!:*
carbon compensation?
To whoever made this I want you to know I appreciate your paper and have found it very useful and I will recommend it in the future to people who need help with these type of subjects.
Sike

This was a very helpful site, thank you so much!!
Good difference I was looking for it
Good job, you know science
Woh nice
Useful
Very helpful...N it's too easy to understand... Thanks
read more. Really Great.
nice this pic
Products?
Final products of each cycle?
How does
39 ATP in cam plant utilized?
I have Some Concept Problem But After Reading Your Post My concept Got Crystal Clear. Thanks For Sharing The post”Love What You Do And Do What You Love! ” .. It was full of note worthy . I like reading Post On your website because it goes Excellence And With a charismatic.
