Please select the best answer from the choices provided

T
F

Answer 1

F

Step-by-step explanation:

Some plants follow C3 pathway while some follow C4 pathway

Answer 2

The correct answer is "F" False.

Step-by-step explanation:

While all plants obtain its energy from photosynthesis and carbon fixation, there are differences among the way they perform it. There are three types of photosynthesis: C3, C4 and Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM). In C3 photosynthesis, the plants fixate carbon from CO2 and obtain a 3-phosphoglycerate molecule as intermediate. In C4 photosynthesis, the plants minimize photorespiration by performing photosynthesis and carbon fixation in different cell types. In CAM photosynthesis, the plants perform photosynthesis and carbon fixation at different times in day and night.
