What are the major differences between C3 and C4 synthesis?

Answer 1

The first product of C3 plant is three carbon compound, while in C4 plant is four carbon compound. Also these two differ many ways.

The first product of C3 plant is three carbon compound, while in C4 plant it is four carbon compound. The kranz anatomy is found in the C4 plants, while this type of anatomy is absent in the C3 plants.
The C4 plants are found in tropical regions e.g., sugarcane, while C3 plants have wide range of distribution.
The C 4 plants are able to photoynthesize in low concentration of carbon dioxide, while C3 plants require sufficient amount of carbondioxide. Thank you

The first carbon fixation enzyme employed, the number of carbon atoms in the first stable compound generated, the spatial separation of carbon fixation and the Calvin cycle, and the environmental circumstances that favor each process are the main distinctions between C3 and C4 photosynthesis.
