  1. C3 plants—all of carbon fixation and photosynthesis happens in mesophyll cells just on the surface of the leaf.  C3 plants include most temperate plants (except many grasses)—more than 95% of all earth’s plants.

    C4 plants—carbon fixation and photosynthesis split between the mesophyll cells and bundle sheath cells


  2. C3 plants have the vast majority of the stomata on the lower (abaxial) surface of the leaf.  C4 plants can have them on both surfaces.
