What is the difference between C3 and C4 pathway?

1.	What is the difference between C3 and C4 pathway?
Answer» 1- #C3 pathway occurs in all plants whereas c4 pathway only occurs in less than 1%of angiosperm @2- #The first stable product is 3 carbon compound in c3 pathway i.e 3phosphoglyceric acid whereas the first stable product is 4 carbon compound i.e oxalloacetic acid in c4 [email\xa0protected]3- #Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate is primary acceptor of co2 in c3 pathway whereas pep is the primary acceptor of co2 in c4 [email\xa0protected]4-# Assimilation of one molecule of co2 requires 3ATP and 2NADPH in c3 pathway whereas Assimilation of one molecule of co2 requires 5ATP and 2NADPH. @5-# c3 pathway is found in all types of climate whereas c4 pathway is found in tropical [email\xa0protected]
