C4 Plant

This is a picture of an ear of corn. Corn is an example of a C4 plant. Unlike, C3 plants, C4 plants prefer hot and dry climates. C4 plants are more efficient at gathering carbon dioxide from the air and the soil. The process of photosynthesis between C3 and C4 plants differs in the aspect of their efficiency. They are more efficient because they live in harsher environments.
