The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between photorespiration and aerobic dark respiration. Photorespiration: 1. It operates only in green photosynthesizing cells of plants. 2. It takes place mostly in C3 plants. 3. It operates only during day time when the light is present. 4. Here the substrate used is glycolic acid that is obtained from RuBP (a [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between C3 Plants and C4 Plants. C3 Plants: 1. Plants that carry out C3 cycle is known as C3 plants. 2. CO fixation occurs one time in mesophyll cell. 3. RuBP (5-C compound) is CO2 acceptor. It is a weak CO2 acceptor. 4. First product of CO2 fixation is PGA (3-C [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between cyclic and non cyclic photophosphorylation. Cyclic Photophosphorylation: 1. Involvement of only PS-I 2. No evolution of oxygen and photolysis of water. 3. Electron released from PS-I comes back to it through electron carriers. 4. It synthesizes only ATP. 5. It takes place in isolated chloroplast and bacterial photosynthesis. 6. No [...]
