C4 photosynthesis

C4 photosynthesis is a specialized process some plants use to capture carbon dioxide more efficiently in hot and dry environments. Unlike typical plants (C3), C4 plants, such as corn and sugarcane, have a unique structure that allows them to concentrate carbon dioxide in their cells. This adaptation helps them minimize water loss and continue producing energy even when conditions are less favorable. By efficiently using sunlight and reducing the impact of high temperatures, C4 plants thrive in challenging climates, making them important for agriculture in those regions.
