37. TEMPERATURE: C3 (10-25 °C) C4 (30-45 °C) C3 PLANT C4 PLANT dicotyledon plants monocotyledon stem are much more wider (2 nd growth) Less than C4 (no 2 nd growth) Short but wider leaf Leaves are much more longer more stomata particularly in the lower leaf surface (abaxial) C4 plants can have them on both surfaces In cool, wet, and cloudy inhabit hot, dry environments
38. C3 PLANT C4 PLANT bundle sheath cells do not contain chloroplasts bundle sheath cells contain chloroplasts carbon fixation and Calvin Cycle reactions occur in mesophyll cells ( presence of oxygen ) carbon is fixed in mesophyll cells, then transported to bundle sheath cells where Calvin Cycle reactions occur in the absence of oxygen C3 plants are more adapted to environments with more carbon dioxide C4 plants are more adapted to environments with more oxygen Less thicker than C4 plant C4 plants have thicker bundle sheath cell layers
