A process that makes important difference between C3\mathrm{C}_3 and C4\mathrm{C}_4 plants is

Options

  1. Atranspiration
  2. Bglycolysis
  3. Cphotosynthesis
  4. Dphotorespiration

Correct answer

D. photorespiration

Step-by-step solution

Photorespiration is a light dependent process which occurs in C3\mathrm{C}_3 plants. It is opposite to photosynthesis because during this process, uptake of O2\mathrm{O}_2 and release of CO2\mathrm{CO}_2 take place. Due to presence of Kranz anatomy, C4C_4 plants do not show photorespiration.
