Detailed explanation-1: -The majority of plant species on Earth uses C3 photosynthesis, in which the first carbon compound produced contains three carbon atoms.
Detailed explanation-2: -The majority of plants and crop plants are C3 plants, referring to the fact that the first carbon compound produced during photosynthesis contains three carbon atoms. Under high temperature and light, however, oxygen has a high affinity for the photosynthetic enzyme Rubisco.
Detailed explanation-3: -PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND PARTITIONING | C3 Plants Of about 300000 plants known on earth, ∼90% are C3 plants, while the CAM and C4-species constitute about 10% and 1%, respectively.
Detailed explanation-4: -C3 Plants. The C3 pathway gets its name from the first molecule produced in the cycle (a 3-carbon molecule) called 3-phosphoglyceric acid. About 85% of the plants on Earth use the C3 pathway to fix carbon via the Calvin Cycle.
Detailed explanation-5: -Many plants that live in the tropics and subtropics, where precipitation is not sparse, are C3 plants.
