This document discusses carbon fixation pathways in C3, C4, and CAM plants. It provides answers to questions about the key differences between these pathways, including that C4 plants are more efficient at high light/temperature due to energy requirements, and CAM plants fix carbon dioxide at night to reduce water loss through transpiration. A scientist would consider water availability and plant adaptations before genetically modifying a C3 plant, as the C4 pathway benefits plants that close stomata to conserve water, and the CAM pathway benefits plants in dry conditions.
Photorespiration - Introduction, why is it occur in plants, pathway of photorespiration, Enzymes names, pathway step by step explanation, Benefits of photorespiration, additional information related to photorespiration, Rubisco enzyme, Oxygenase enzyme, Oxygen concentration higher leads to photorespiration, problem to carry out calvin cycle.
This power point presentation consisting of 41 slides is an attempt to describe what is photorespiration,major photorespiratory pathway in C3 plants ,why photorespiration doesnot take place in C4 plants,structure of Rubisco enzyme ,difference between Photorespiration and Dark respiration and Significance of Photorespiration

Embyrology in relation to Taxonomy. It is one of the concepts in Modern Taxonomy.in which embryological data is used to strengthen existing classification system.
Pteridophyta or Pteridophytes are Vascular Plants (also known as "seedless plants") that reproduce and disperse via spores. They do not produce either seeds or flowers.
Additional info:
+ Division Equisetophyta (horsetails & scouring rushes)
+ Division Psilotophyta (whisk ferns)
(This is our report in Botany 2.)

This was my presentation on the C4 pathway which includes the portions for 11th grade i hope it helps ppl for better understanding :)
I would like to say special Thanks to my biology teacher Mrs.Alarmelu for her outstanding support and her amazing effort in helping me to make this presentation a success
C4 cycle may also be referred as the di-carboxylic acid cycle or the β-carboxylation pathway or Hatch and Slack cycle or cooperative photosynthesis (Karpilov, 1970). For a long time, C3 cycle was considered to be the only photosynthetic pathway for reduction of CO2 into carbohydrates. Kortschak, Hartt and Burr (1965) reported that rapidly photosynthesizing sugarcane leaves produced a 4-C compound like aspartic acid and malic acid as a result of CO2 – fixation.
It was later supported by M. D. Hatch and C. R. Slack (1966) and they reported that a 4-C compound oxaloacetic acid (OAA) is the first stable product in CO2 reduction process. This pathway was first reported in members of family Poaceae like sugarcane, maize, sorghum, etc. (tropical grasses), but later on the other subtropical plant like Atriplex spongiosa (Salt bush), Dititaria samguinolis, Cyperus rotundus, Amaranthus etc. So, the cycle has been reported not only in the members of Graminae but also among certain members of Cyperaceae and certain dicots.

Hey Folks!!!
This Was Done As Part Of My Bio Seminar 2012-2013. And I'm From Gulf Asian English School, Sharjah, U.A.E.
And I Hope This Will Help You In One Or The Other Way.
