Question

i am stuck in this question for many days and nobody is answering me hope that you will help!!
Dear Seep,
I can't do your homework for you. But I can refer you to my botany lecture notes that I hope will help you answer this question:

Use your browser "find" function with the key phrase: " Some plants, across about 19 different families, " and it will take you right to the section on C4 plants. The rest of the lecture is a general overview of photosynthesis, if you think that might be useful.
Hope this helps.
Dana
