C3 vs C4 Plants. Photosynthesis is the light driven reaction that converts carbon dioxide and water in to energy rich sugars. The process is coupled to the oxidation of water yielding oxygen as a biproduct.4 plants are much more efficient at capturing carbon dioxide. C4 photosynthesis is found in both monocot and dicot species. In contrast to C3 plants, the first stable product formed during photosynthesis is oxaloacetic, which is a C4 compound.
The Gran Telescopio Canarias is by far the largest telescope on earth and measures 34 feet (or 409 inches) across! Its home is in the Canary Islands of Spain. The design and development of this telescope took more than 1,000 people from over 100 companies more than a decade to complete.
This is what makes the image look smaller. The biggest refracting telescope in the world is located at the Yerkes Observatory of the University of Chicago at Williams Bay, Wisconsin. It has an objective lens thats 1.02 meters (40 inches) across, and its total power is 195x. Reflecting telescopes, on the other hand, dont use lenses at all.
