A process that makes important difference between C3 and C4 plants is
transpiration
glycolysis
photosynthesis

D.
photosynthesis
Photorespiration is a light dependent process which occurs in C3 plants. It is opposite to photosynthesis because during this process uptake of O2 and release of CO2 take place. Due to the presence of Kranz anatomy, C4 plants do not show photorespiration.
A plant in your garden avoids photorespiratory losses, has improved water use efficiency, shows high rate of photosynthesis at high temperatures and has improved efficiency of nitrogen utilisation. In which of the following physiological groups would you assign this plant?
C4
CAM
Nitogen-fixer
Nitogen-fixer
Emerson's enhancement effect and red drop have instrumental in the discovery of
two photosystems operating simultaneously
photophosphorylation and cyclic electron transport
oxidative phosphorylation
