Question

Sort the characteristics and examples as describing the C3 pathway, C4 pathway (Hatch-Slack pathway), or both Be sure to sort all the phrases. Note: If you answer any part of this question incorrectly, a single red X will appear indicating that one or more of the phrases are sorted incorrectly. C3 pathway C4 pathway Both the generation of one molecule of dihydroxyacetone phosphate requires 3 CO2 and 15 ATP CO2 reacts with ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate to form 3-phosphoglycerate energy for carbon assimilation is generated by the light reactions of photosynthesis additional ATP is required to assimilate CO2, but photorespiration is reduced plants generally found generating of one molecule of dihydroxyacetone phosphate uses 3 CO2 and 9 ATP at higher latitudes and/or elevations carbon fixation in bundle-sheath cells and mesophyll cells CO2 is fixed by rubisco CO2 may be temporarily stored as malate

Explanation / Answer

C3 pathway:- CO2 reacts with ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate to form 3-phosphoglycerate. Photorespiration is loss of energy.

Energy for carbon assimilation is generated by the light reactions of photosynthesis.

C4 pathway:- Carbon fixation in bundle-sheath cells and mesophyll cells. Co2 may be temporarily stored as malate.Plants generaly found at high attitudes.

Both:- Co2 is fixed by rubisco. Generating of one molecule of dihydroxy acetone phosphate uses 3 CO2 and 9 ATP.
