Botany - Photosynthesis in Higher Plants Question with Solution | TestHub

There are three types of plants-C3 plants, C4 plants and CAM plants.

${\mathrm{C}}_3$plants are the most abundant plants (80% of plants are${\mathrm{C}}_3$plants). In${\mathrm{C}}_3$plants${\mathrm{C}}_3$operates Calvin cycle/PGA cycle to produce glucose. Mango, Neem, Guava are few examples of${\mathrm{C}}_3$plants.

${\mathrm{C}}_4$plants are characterized by the presence of Kranz anatomy in their leaves. In${\mathrm{C}}_4$plants run Hatch and Slack pathway whose first stable compound is OAA (Oxalo Acetic Acid). This Hatch and Slack cycle ultimately help in glucose formation. Sugar cane, Jower, Maize are examples of${\mathrm{C}}_4$plants.
