Photosynthesis
C4 plants
-
-
-
-
-
CO2 enters via stomata and 4 carbon compound formed (PEP carboxylase does not promote photorespiration)
-
4 carbon molecule transferred that releases steady supply of CO2, minimizing photorespiration
-
Chloroplast
-
-
Majority of photosynthesis occurs internally in leaves, in the mesophyll

Photosynthetic pigments
Leaves are green because they absorb red and violet, and reflect green wavelengths
Wavelength of light that a pigment absorbs depends on the amount of energy needed to boost an electron to a higher orbital
Pigments absorb some light energy and reflect others - Having different pigments allows plants to absorb light at many different wavelengths
