Describe the major differentiating characters in between Calvin cycle and Hatch-Slack pathway of photosynthesis
Calvin cycle-
1) Found in both C3 and C4 plants
2)Primary acceptor of CO2 is RUBP
3)First product formed is PGA which contains 3 carbon atoms
4)The enzyme for the 1st fixation of CO2 is RUBP carboxylase
Hatch and Slack Parhway-
1)Found only in C4 plants
2)Primary acceptor of Co2 is PEP
3)First compound formed is OAA which contains 4 carbon atoms
4) The enzyme for the 1st fixation of C02 is PEP case
