C3 Photosynthesis. Plants which use only the Calvin cycle for fixing the carbon dioxide from the air are known as C3 plants. In the first step of the cycle CO 2 reacts with RuBP to produce two 3-carbon molecules of 3-phosphoglyceric acid (3-PGA).4 plants almost never saturate with light and under hot, dry conditions much outperform C3 plants. They use a two-stage process were CO 2 is fixed in thin-walled mesophyll cells to form a 4-carbon intermediate, typically malate (malic acid).
A molecular formula lists the numbers of the atoms of a specific element in a compound. A structural formula is a picture of how the atoms in a specific molecule are connectedâ¦, with each atom represented by its chemical symbol. For example, oxygen's molecular formula is O2. Its structural formula is O-O.
The measurement model is the part which relates measured variables to latent variables. The structural model is the part that relates latent variables to one another. Statistically, the model is evaluated by comparing two variance/covariance matrices. From the data a sample variance/covariance matrix is calculated.
