Summary Introduction
Introduction: The C4 pathway is designed to efficiently fix carbon dioxide at low concentrations and plants that use this C4 pathway are called as C4 plants. These plants are very efficient in dry, hot climates and make a lot of energy.

- Complex II proteins are present in both Arabidopsis and Viscum. However, the amount of ATP produced by this complex is only about 60% of the ATP produced by Complex I, III, or IV. This lower yield of ATP is due to… A. The absence of nad genes associated with Complex I B. The comparatively low quantities of respiratory metabolism proteins in the electron transport chain of mistletoe C. The flow of electrons does not result in additions to the proton gradient and thus cannot be used to drive ATP formation via chemiosmosis D.
