C4 -plants are more efficient in photosynthesis than C3 -plants due to 

1. higher leaf area

2. presence of larger number of chloroplasts in the leaf cells. 

3. presence of thin cuticle

4. lower rate of photorespiration

THe C4 -plants are photosynthetically more efficient than C3 -plants because

(1) the CO2 compensation point is more

(2) CO2 generated during photorespiration is trapped and recycled through PEP carboxylase

(3) the CO2 efflux is not prevented

(4) they have more chloroplasts.

The C4 plants grow very efficiently in warm climates because they

(1) consume fewer ATP molecules for glucose synthesis

(2) minimize photorespiratory losses

(3) have more efficient chloroplasts

(3) contain enzymes which are not inactivated at high temperatures.
