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.

Under arid conditions C4 plants fix carbon dioxide more efficiently than C3 plants because C4 plants?

C4 plants fix 4 carbon dioxides during glycolysis instead of the normal 3 (hence C3 plants). CAM plants fix carbon dioxide at night instead of during the day.


What do animals and man get carbon from?

Carbon exists as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which is absorbed by plants during photosynthesis. All food chains start with plants so herbivores get carbon by eating plants and carnivores get carbon by eating herbivores.


How does plants get the carbon dioxide?

Plants get carbon dioxide from the air we exhale. We breath out carbon dioxide and plants give us oxygen. So when we breath oxygen the air that we exhale is carbon dioxide that goes to plants.
