C 4 plants differ from C 3 plants because C 3 plants _______, while C 4 plants _______.

C 3 plants have mesophyll cells that fix CO 2 and contain the Calvin cycle, while C 4 plants have mesophyll cells that fix CO 2 and bundle sheath cells that contain the Calvin cycle. This is known as the C4 pathway, which is an adaptation in certain plant species that allows them to more efficiently fix CO 2 and reduce photorespiration.
