C4 CYCLE IS ADVANCE CHARACTER OF PLANT.
IN C4 PLANT THERE IS NO PHOTORESPIRATION OCCUR THATS WHY IT IS ADVANCE CHARACTER
The discovery of C 4 cycle in monocots such as sugarcane, maize and sorghum has indicated that these plants have solved the problem of photorespiration. The carbon dioxide is fixed in the mesophyll cells. The initial product being a-4 carbon compound, the process is called C 4 pathway of carbon dioxide fixation.
C4 carbon fixation or the Hatch - Slack pathway is a photosynthetic process in some plants. It is the first step in extracting carbon from carbon dioxide to be able to use it in sugar and other biomolecules. It is one of three known processes for carbon fixation.
Goodluck I hope this helps you
