In one variation of this process, PEP carboxylase facilitates a reaction to produce oxaloacetate, which is converted to malate and transferred to bundle sheath cells for further reactions.
In one variation of this process, PEP carboxylase facilitates a reaction to produce oxaloacetate, which is converted to malate and transferred to bundle sheath cells for further reactions. In another variation, the produced malate is stored for later use. Those two variations alleviate the problem where oxygen, instead of carbon dioxide, binds to rubisco. In this process, the first stage produces ATP and NADPH, while the second stage produces glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. Those stages are called the light and dark reactions. C4 and CAM also perform carbon fixation in, for 10 points, which process that uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen?
