• ATP

• G3P

• RuBP

• 3-PGA

Tiny pores on the underside of leaves

Plants can close their stomata when the temperature is hot

• To prevent water loss

• To prevent loss of oxygen

• To prevent loss of carbon dioxide

• To bring in more carbon dioxide

NGSS.HS-LS1-3

A plant using the C4 pathway will

• fix CO2 into a four carbon sugar instead of a three carbon sugar

• close the stomata during the day

• produce a four carbon sugar instead of glucose

• not need ATP from the light reactions
