    C3 and C4 plants differ in key characteristics of carbon fixation: - In C3 plants, the Calvin cycle takes place in mesophyll cells and the initial carboxylation reaction occurs in mesophyll cells. C4 plants separate these processes between mesophyll and bundle sheath cells. - C3 plants have one cell type that fixes carbon dioxide, while C4 plants have two - mesophyll and bundle sheath cells. - C3 plants have higher photorespiration rates, especially at high light intensities and low carbon dioxide concentrations, while C4 plants have negligible photorespiration. - Common examples of C3 plants include wheat and rice, while common C4 plants include maize, sug
