Document Summary

A plant that uses the calvin cycle for the initial steps that incorporate co2 into organic material, forming a three-carbon compound as the first stable intermediate. photorespiration. A metabolic pathway that consumes oxygen, releases carbon dioxide, generates no atp, and decreases photosynthetic output; generally occurs on hot, dry, bright days, when stomata close and the oxygen concentration in the leaf exceeds that of carbon dioxide. A plant that prefaces the calvin cycle with reactions that incorporate co2 into four-carbon compounds, the end product of which supplies co2 for the calvin cycle. A type of photosynthetic cell arranged into tightly packed sheaths around the veins of a leaf. mesophyll cells. A loosely arranged photosynthetic cell located between the bundle sheath and the leaf surface. Pep carboxylase adds co2 to phoshoenolpyruvate (pep) to form oxaloacetate. Has a very high affinity for co2 and can fix. Co2 eddiciently when rubisco cannot (arid conditions etc)
