Vedclass · Answer

(B) The classification of photosynthetic pathways into $C_{3}$ and $C_{4}$ is based on the number of carbon atoms present in the first stable product formed during the carbon fixation process of the Calvin cycle and the Hatch-Slack pathway respectively.      $C_{3}$ Pathway    $C_{4}$ Pathway        The first stable product formed is a $3$-carbon compound called $3-PGA$ ($3-	ext{phosphoglyceric}$ acid).    The first stable product formed in the mesophyll cells is a $4$-carbon compound called $OAA$ ($	ext{Oxaloacetic}$ acid).
