Question 11 • TX-Environmental Systems B

Compare the process of carbon fixation in C3 plants to that of CAM plants.

Answer

Answer:

CAM plants are adapted to arid conditions, while C3 plants are adapted to areas with moderate light and temperatures. CAM plants convert carbon dioxide to acid and store it during the night. The stomata of CAM plants are open at night to conserve water, while C3 plants open stomata during the day.
