Partitioning of Fixed Carbon to Sucrose and Starch in Leaf Cells Introduction Photosynthesis in leaf cells results in the fixation of atmospheric CO₂ into carbohydrates. The two primary end-products of photosynthetic carbon assimilation are sucrose and starch. Sucrose serves as the major transport form of carbohydrates, while starch is a temporary storage form in chloroplasts. […]

CO₂ Concentration Mechanisms in C4 Plants and Their Significance Introduction C4 photosynthesis is a specialized adaptation in certain plants that enhances the efficiency of carbon fixation under high temperature, intense sunlight, and low CO₂ conditions. This mechanism involves the spatial separation of initial CO₂ fixation and the Calvin cycle to minimize photorespiration and improve productivity.
