Fractionation of carbon isotopes in oxygenic photosynthesis be less fractionated in C (ie, δC is relatively less negative) compared to C3 plants with low water-use efficiency. C4 plants have developed the C4 carbon fixation pathway to conserve water loss, thus are more prevalent in hot, sunny, and dry climates. These plants differ from C3 plants because the Calvin Cycle in C4 plants produces a four-carbon molecule, malate (rather than 3-phosphoglycerate), after fixation of CO. Malate, the four-carbon compound is the namesake of "C4" photosynthesis. This pathway allows C4 photosynthesis to efficiently shuttle CO to the RuBisCO enzyme and maintain high concentrations of CO within bundle sheath cells.
Ghetto Day/What I Need Picnic'." This sampling was also praised by Fred DeUar of "High Fidelity News and Record Review", who stated it was done "in the cause of better-class '90s pop." "Billboard" called the track "a languid, liquid sketch of a lazy city afternoon" and stated "it gets the nod as [the album's] likeliest knockout contender." Ron Wynn from AllMusic declared "What I Need" one of the album's best. "Billboard" Larry Flick labelled it a "floor-filler" and an "upbeat rouser." Another reviewer from the same publication thought "What I Need" was one of the hits to be had from "Storyteller". "Vibe" magazine stated
