Question

Map Sapling Learning 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.

Explanation / Answer

C3 pathway: CO2 reacts with ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate to form 3-phosphoglycerate, energy for carbon assimilation is generated by the light reactions of photosynthesis, the generation of one molecule of DHAP requires 3 CO2 and 15 ATP, additional ATP os required to assimilate CO2, but photorespiration is reduced.

C4 pathway: Generating one molecule of DHAP uses 3 CO2 and 9 ATP, plants generally found in high latitudes and elevations

Both: CO2 may be temporarily stored as malate, plants may store carbon as starch, Carbon fixation in bundle sheath cells and mesophyll cells
