What happens during the carbon fixation step of the Calvin cycle?

Products such as G3P or PGAL are produced in the Calvin cycle in C3, C4, and CAM plants. Carbon fixation helps each plant adapt to the particular environment they live in. C4 plants are those such as sugarcane or grasses. CAM plants are the cactus plants or plants that live in the desert. It also helps with the production of ATP.


Is broccoli a c3 or c4 plant?

Well, broccoli is a c4 plant because plants that are in the section of c3 live in hot, dry temperatures and climates. So cacti would be a great example of c3 plants. Broccoli is not a c3 plant it is a c4 plant. So a way to remember this would be to say that warm or cool plants with rainy season and those whom actually get water more then once in every blue moon are c4 plants and then those whom get water few times a year and live in desert type climates are c3 plant. Hope this helped you, if you have anymore questions you may email me at dmac558@aol.com.
