1. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce oxygen and energy in the form of glucose.
2. The chemical equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight → C6H12O6 + 6O2, where carbon dioxide and water are converted into glucose and oxygen.
3. The machinery of photosynthesis includes chloroplasts, which contain chlorophyll, and two photosystems that absorb light energy and generate ATP and NADPH through electron transport chains.

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
This presentation promises to unravel the mysteries of photosynthesis in a visually appealing and informative manner, leaving your audience with a newfound appreciation for the extraordinary process that sustains life on our planet. From chloroplasts to the Calvin Cycle, journey through captivating visuals and concise explanations to unlock the secrets behind nature's most vital process.
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.
