|
|
The sugarcane plant has stomata that open only at night, while the wheat plant has stomata that open only during the day.

|
The sugarcane plant physically separates its phases of carbon fixation and the Calvin cycle, while the wheat plant does not.

The sugarcane plant uses rubisco for carbon fixation
|
Detailed explanation-1: -A scientist is comparing the characteristics of a c3 plant, wheat, and c4 plant, sugar cane. Which of the following is true regarding these two plants? The sugarcane plant physically separates its phases of carbon fixation and the Calvin cycle, while the wheat plant does not.
Detailed explanation-2: -C3 plants include around 95% of the shrubs, trees, and plants. While C4 plants are defined as the plants that use the C4 pathway during the dark reaction. The chloroplasts of these plants are dimorphic and unlike C3 plants the leaves of C4 plants possess kranz anatomy. C4 plants include around 5% of plants on earth.
Detailed explanation-3: -C4 plants-including maize, sugarcane, and sorghum-avoid photorespiration by using another enzyme called PEP during the first step of carbon fixation.
