Diagram of C4 photosynthesis.
  •  Info Some plants such as corn have evolved some modifications to photosynthesis, increasing its efficiency by separating the light reactions (oxygen generating phase) from the dark reactions (sugar generating phase). One modification is C4 photosynthesis (The NADP-ME version is depicted here). C4 photosynthesis is complicated. I made this poster to make it slightly more understandable. :)

  • I focused on the NADP-ME type, because in previous diagrams, whenever I tried to do a "generic" version of a pathway, it never turned out well. This time I just did corn NADP-ME because corn is the most well known C4 plant (other than crabgrass) and the NADP-ME version is the simplest. Also, pictures on Commons are not just for wikipedia articles. That is an EnFP criterion, not a Commons FP one.—Kelvinsong (talk) 17:48, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do not get me wrong: I like your pictures, that is true. You have well proven your outstanding craftsmanship of difficult pictures. But this one goes a little bit too far in a certain way as mentioned, maybe even a little bit too simplified and hence misleading. --Yikrazuul (talk) 20:30, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
