Given what we know, we can confirm that the three pathways of photosynthesis (C3, C4, and CAM) are all similar in that they use CO2 as the substrate in order to produce sugar, which is carbon-based.
Why are these pathways similar?
- These pathways all produce carbon-based molecules in the form of sugars or carbohydrates.
- These pathways are also similar in that they use carbon dioxide as the substrate in order to fuel these reactions and create sugar.
- Finally, they are also similar in terms of the use of carbon and the production of carbon-based molecules in that they all use the Calvin cycle to complete this process.
Therefore, we can confirm that each of the three pathways of photosynthesis are similar in terms of carbon and the formation of carbon-based molecules in that each of them uses the Calvin cycle in order to turn carbon dioxide into sugars.
