What has the author Lucy Anne Jordan Price written?
Lucy Anne Jordan Price has written: 'A study of metabolite uptake by cells demonstrating crassulacean acid metabolism' -- subject(s): Crassulacean acid metabolism
What are some alternative pathways for photosynthesis?
C4 photosynthesis or CAM (crassulacean acid metabolism) photosynthesis
What organisms save water by turning cabron dioxide into a special cabron compound before carrying out photosynthesis?
CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) plants, such as succulents and cacti, have a unique adaptation to save water. They open their stomata at night to take in carbon dioxide, convert it into a special carbon compound (malic acid), and store it in their cells. During the day, the stomata remain closed to prevent water loss, and the stored malic acid is broken down to release carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. This enables these plants to survive in arid environments with limited water availability.
How does the process of CAM photosynthesis work?
In brief, CAM photosynthesis occurs in plants which may have to conserve water. These plants close the stomata in the daylight, and open them at night. Thus conserving most (>90%) of the water otherwise lost due to transpiration.During the night they absorb CO2 and store it in an acid, hence the CAM - Crassulacean Acid Metabolism.The Crassulacea refers to a plant family in which the mechanism was first studied - it is NOT the metabolism of Crassulacean Acid. The acid was named after the plant.Many of the plant families in which this CAM process occur are those that may have to withstand drought. The great variety of Families of plants (both Angisperms and Gymnosperms) covers many hundreds of Genera, indicates that this mechanism has been discovered many times - a natural convergent evolution.Pineapple and Cacti are very common plants using CAM, but plants such as mosses and Quillworts (Isoetales) also use it. These lowly plants must often have a water problem. Perching orchids are another obvious group of adaptees.
Can folic acid boost your metabolism?
Yes, Folic acid does boost your metabolism. :)
What is Carbon 3 Plants?
You must mean....., Crassulacean acid metabolism plants. Cam 3. These plants are adapted to arid areas and keep their stomata closed during the day to conserve water. At night they take in CO2 and fix it in a form called malate. Then during the day they run the photosynthetic process.
Is urea a product of fatty acid metabolism?
no it is a product of amino acid metabolism (urea cycle in liver)
What is the shift in metabolism that breaks down pyruvic acid to lactic acid called?
This shift in metabolism is referred to as the anaerobic threshold, or the lactic acid threshold.
Do green plants produce carbon dioxide at night?
Above plants can uptake CO{-2} during the night as well because of their ability to perform a type of photosynthesis called Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM).
What is the nucleic acid central to metabolism?
DNA
A by-product of anaerobic metabolism is what material?
lactic acid
Can pills boost metabolism?
Yes, some pills can boost your metabolism. I would recommend Folic Acid.
