In C4 plants, photosynthesis is compartmentalized into two; light-dependent stage and light independent stage. The light-dependent stage occurs in the mesophyll cells of the leaf. Here, CO2 is fixed into oxaloacetate by PEP carboxylase enzyme. The oxaloacetate is then converted to malate that is then transported to bundle-sheath cells (around the leaf veins). The CO2 is then released from the malate and the gas molecule is subsequently fixed by RuBiSCO like in C3 plants. The biggest advantage of C4 photosytheis is that the wasteful process of photorespiration is greatly reduced.

Elliptical galaxies. I hope thats correct.
The main responsible for the delay among the atrial and
ventricular contractions is the action potential conduction velocity of the AV
node cells. If the atria and ventricles contract simultaneously, atria cannot
give any help in filling the ventricles, which is needed, especially in those
with stiff ventricles as in the elderly. Hence atria have to contract first and
then the ventricles.
