Imagine an environment that is very dry and receives a lot of sunlight water is found deep below the soilwhich of the four groups of plants could survive in this environment?
CAM plants include succulents and cacti and are specifically designed to survive in very dry, arid environments. They only open their stomata at night, thereby reducing water loss through the leaves while obtaining CO2. C4 plants would not "survive" as well as a CAM plant in a very dry environment but they would surely do much better than C3 plants, which lose 97% of their water intake right back out of their leaves through transpiration. C4 plants fix CO2 twice instead of only once to more effectively use water.
What do cam plants close?
Their stomata during the day!.
What plant takes in carbon dioxide at night?
Any plant that performs CAM photosynthesis. It occurs mostly in desert plants, such as cacti, to preserve water.
Cacti and pineapple are plants that use what type of photosynthesis?
CAM
Two alternative photosynthesis pathways found in plants?
C4 and CAM
What type of plant will you find in the tropical rain forest c3 plants or c4 plants?
C3 due to the abundance of water. C4 and CAM plants tend to inhabit very dry environments and have adaptations that minimise photorespiration (a process that wastes ATP) and water loss.
Why do plants do opposite breathing at night?
Many plants, called C3 and C4 plants, open their stomas during the day to let in carbon dioxide to instigate the process of cellular respiration. However some plants called CAM plants open their stomas at night. The main reason for this process is due to the physical environment the plants are located in. The majority of CAM plants are located in hot, dry and desert environments where water is scarce. As a result the CAM plants evolved so that they could close their stomas during the day and open them at night, to help retain water, at night the plants can still absorb CO2. Some examples of CAM plants are, cacti, pineapples, and aloe.
What type of plants are cam plants?
Cactus
Are cam plants one of many flowering plants?
no

What type of enviorment are most CAM plants found?
Most CAM plants are found in Hot and Dry climates according to my Bio book
What is examples of cam plants?

When Cam photosynthesis occurs mostly in what type of plants?
CAM plants include many succulents such as cactuses and agaves and also some orchids and bromeliads
