Calvin cycle, C4 pathway, photorespiration
Why this is asked: C4 plants don't skip the Calvin cycle — they still run it, just relocated to the bundle sheath cells, after PEP carboxylase in the mesophyll (which cannot bind oxygen) concentrates CO2 there and starves RuBisCO of the oxygen that would otherwise trigger photorespiration.
