The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between photorespiration and aerobic respiration. Difference # Photorespiration: 1. Photorespiration occurs only in the green cells. 2. Photorespiration occurs only in the presence of light. 3. It occurs predominantly in C3 plants. 4. Photorespiration does not involve glycolysis, Krebs cycle, etc. 5. It does not produce any usable energy in the [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between c3 plants and c4 plants. Difference # C3 Plants: 1. CO2 acceptor is RuBP (Ribulose bisphosphate). 2. Only one type of chloroplasts occur in the cells. Grana present in chloroplasts. 3. First stable compound after CO2 fixation is PGA. 4. Plants photosynthesize well, if CO2 concentration is high. 5. They [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between differentiation, dedifferentiation and redifferentiation in Plants. Difference # Differentiation: The cells derived from root apical meristem (RAM) and shoot apical meristem (SAM) and cambium differentiate, mature to perform specific functions. This act leading to maturation is termed differentiation. They, undergo a few or major structural changes both in their cell [...]
