C₄ plants, such as maize and sugarcane, use the C₄ pathway to minimize photorespiration and increase CO₂ efficiency.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 11: Photosynthesis in Higher Plants Photosynthesis - Significance and Bacterial Photosynthesis
The C₄ pathway reduces photorespiration by maintaining a high CO₂ concentration around RuBisCO, making it more efficient than the C₃ pathway.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 11: Photosynthesis in Higher Plants Photosynthesis - Significance and Bacterial Photosynthesis
The C4 pathway helps plants avoid photorespiration in hot, dry environments.

In C₄ plants, malate is transported from mesophyll cells to bundle sheath cells, where it releases CO₂ for the Calvin cycle.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 11: Photosynthesis in Higher Plants C4 Pathway - Hatch and Slack and Photorespiration
In the C4 pathway, carbon fixation occurs in mesophyll cells and the Calvin cycle in bundle sheath cells.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 11: Photosynthesis in Higher Plants C4 Pathway - Hatch and Slack and Photorespiration
In C4 plants, carbon fixation occurs in mesophyll cells, while the Calvin cycle occurs in bundle sheath cells.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 11: Photosynthesis in Higher Plants C4 Pathway - Hatch and Slack and Photorespiration
The C4 pathway separates carbon fixation in mesophyll cells and the Calvin cycle in bundle sheath cells.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 11: Photosynthesis in Higher Plants C4 Pathway - Hatch and Slack and Photorespiration
The C4 pathway forms a four-carbon compound, oxaloacetic acid, as its first product.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 11: Photosynthesis in Higher Plants C4 Pathway - Hatch and Slack and Photorespiration
The C₄ pathway allows plants to fix CO₂ efficiently in dry conditions by reducing photorespiration.
