C4 cycle
(Science: plant biology) An alternative, very efficient pathway used by plants living in areas with low levels of carbon dioxide, to convert carbon dioxide into a form usable by the plants during photosynthesis.
some plants that use the c4 cycle: corn, sugarcane
Plants are responsible for incredible feats of molecular transformation. Plant processes, such as photosynthesis, photophosphorylation, chemiosmosis, carbon fixing reactions, respiration, are presented in this tutorial...
Photosynthesis is the process that plants undertake to create organic materials from carbon dioxide and water, with the help of sunlight- all of which are investigated in this tutorial...
The water cycle (also referred to as the hydrological cycle) is a system of continuous transfer of water from the air, sea land, and water in a cycle. This tutorial explains in brief what occurs in the water cycle. Also, it delineates what is groundwater and surface run-off. This is an essential background as to how the water moves in an ecosystem both geologically and biologically...
Proteins have a crucial role in various biological activities. Get to know how proteins are able to perform as enzymes, cofactors, or regulators. In this tutorial, you will also know the common metabolic pathways of biomolecules, such as glucose and other carbohydrates, fats, proteins and amino acids, and essential nutrients...
Plants are characterized by having alternation of generations in their life cycles. This tutorial is a review of plant mitosis, meiosis, and alternation of generations. ..
Cell respiration is the process of creating ATP. It is "respiration" because it utilizes oxygen. Know the different stages of cell respiration in this tutorial...
