C4 Plant fixes CO2 into a molecule containing four carbon atoms before initiating the C3 Plant Calvin-Benson cycle of photosynthesis that is abundant in tropical climates, make up about 5% of all plants on earth. It is one of three discovered the photosynthetic pathways of carbon fixation in plants. The C3 Plant is a conventional approach generated as a consequence of the C3 photosynthesis, accounting for nearly 90% of all plant species in the world. (e.g., Rice, wheat, soybeans, and all trees). Other one is the Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) photosynthesis that is a pathway to save water and reduce photorespiration while growing in dry areas.
