How plants adopt themselves to avoid photorespiration?
Sizzlingjade1
Spatially, in C4 plants. They separate the light reaction and the Calvin cycle into the mesophyll cells and the bundle sheath cells respectively. Rubisco, which has a bad habit of fixing oxygen in low CO2 level conditions, is in the bundle sheath cells where it receives four carbon molecules, oxaloacetates, that it can take carbon from for fixing into the Calvin cycle. CAM plants use the same C4 process, but in the mesophyll cells alone and use a night/day divide process of carbon intake and fixation to avoid photorespiration and water loss.

∙ 8y agoThe reverse of photosynthesis is cellular respiration. Plants have mitochondria in their cells to carry out this function just as animals do. They turn oxygen and sugar back into water and oxygen, harvesting the energy to turn ADP into ATP which can then be used to carry out processes in the cell.

Why do rainforest plants have waxy leaves?
To help keep the water inside and to keep bactriea and microbes off the plant.
How does the climate affect plants and animals?
Plants and animals effect the ecosystems they live in because they depend on each other for survival. Plants produce oxygen which animals need to breath. Animals also need plants for food. Animals release carbon dioxide from breathing which is what the plants need to make the oxygen. Animals help fertilize the ground for the plants with their feces.
Why do some plants close their stomata at night?
At night, there is no light, therefore no photosynthesis (which is the process of making energy from light). Photosynthesis uses CO2, however since photosynthesis is not occurring at night, there is no need to acquire CO2.Some plants (CAM plants) only open their stomata at night, however, in order to take in CO2 and store it until it is light and they can use photosynthesis then. This helps to eliminate water loss through the stomata which would occur more rapidly if the stomata were open during a hot day. (therefore, most CAM plants are found in desserts and such)

Can chickens eat strawberry stalks?
They will pick at the leaves of the strawberry plants with no ill effects but the stalks themselves are too woody for them to eat. There are actually very few plants a chicken will not eat and they know which ones to avoid. My free range hens avoid Rhubarb and tomato plants as they are poisonous but strawberries are not.
Why do plants avoid pollinating themselves?
Some plants have a hermaphrodite trait while other do not. This trait can be activated through any number of processes and conditions, generally this trait turns on when the plant undergoes stress.
