The common molecule between the Kreb cycle and C 4 pathway is

The primary acceptor of CO 2 in C 4 plants is phosphoenolpyruvate or PEP. PEP in mesophyll cells combine with CO 2 and converted into 4 carbon compound oxaloacetic acid by PEP carboxylase. In C 3 plant ribulose1,5-diphosphate is the primary acceptor of CO 2 . In the Kreb cycle, oxaloacetic acid combines with acetyl Co-A to form the first stable product called citric acid.
