Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is a fundamental process that occurs in green plants and other photosynthetic organisms. It is the process by which light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of glucose and other organic compounds. This energy is then used to fuel the metabolic processes of the organism. Photosynthesis is vital to the survival…

C4 Plants
C4 plants have evolved a unique mechanism for carbon fixation that allows them to efficiently produce glucose in hot and dry environments. This mechanism, known as the C4 pathway, involves the spatial separation of carbon dioxide fixation and the Calvin cycle. The C4 pathway provides several ecological advantages to plants, including increased water use efficiency…
