C4 plants are able to photosynthesize with no apparent photorespiration because of:
1. absence of Calvin cycle.
2. use of PEP carboxylase for primary carbon dioxide fixation.
3. absence of RuBisCO.
4. presence of tissues that do not require oxygen.

Both C4 and CAM pathways are regarded as compromises. The reason for this would be:
1. Both pathways lead to reduction of photosynthesis to enable water conservation.
2. To maintain high photosynthetic levels C4 compromises on water loss and CAM compromises on loss of carbon.
3. Both minimize photorespiration and optimize the Calvin cycle.
4. To maintain high photosynthetic levels CAM compromises on water loss and C4 compromises on loss of carbon.
