The pear tree is a C3 plant. C3 plants use the Calvin cycle for carbon fixation, which is typical in cooler, wetter environments where they can efficiently utilize carbon dioxide. This contrasts with C4 plants, which have adaptations for high temperatures and light intensities, enhancing efficiency in carbon fixation under those conditions.
The prickly pear cactus is a CAM plant, not a C3 or C4 plant. CAM plants use a different carbon fixation pathway called Crassulacean Acid Metabolism that helps them conserve water by opening their stomata at night.
No, alfalfa is not a C4 plant. It is a C3 plant, which means it uses the C3 photosynthesis pathway. C4 plants have a different type of photosynthesis pathway that allows them to be more efficient in hot and dry conditions.
Brassica napus is a C3 plant. It utilizes the C3 photosynthetic pathway, which is the most common photosynthetic pathway in plants.
Yes, pineapple (Ananas comosus) is classified as a C3 plant, not a C4 plant. C3 plants primarily use the Calvin cycle for photosynthesis and typically thrive in cooler, wetter environments. C4 plants, on the other hand, have a different pathway that allows them to efficiently photosynthesize in hot and dry conditions. Pineapples adapt to their tropical environments but do not exhibit the C4 photosynthetic pathway.
C3 and C4 plants are both categories of plants based on the type of photosynthetic pathway they use. Both types of plants undergo the Calvin cycle to fix carbon dioxide and produce sugar during photosynthesis. However, C4 plants have an additional carbon-concentrating mechanism that allows for more efficient photosynthesis in hot and dry conditions compared to C3 plants.

An apple tree is a C3 plant, which means it uses the C3 photosynthetic pathway.
Cocoa is neither a C3 or C4 plant. Though it tends to live in warmer climates, it does not fit into either category.
Sunflowers are C3 plants. They use the C3 carbon fixation pathway during photosynthesis, which is less efficient in hot and dry conditions compared to C4 plants.
No, it performs C3 photosynthesis
Balsam plants are C3 plants. They use the C3 carbon fixation pathway for photosynthesis, which involves the initial fixation of carbon dioxide into a three-carbon compound.
No, alfalfa is not a C4 plant. It is a C3 plant, which means it uses the C3 photosynthesis pathway. C4 plants have a different type of photosynthesis pathway that allows them to be more efficient in hot and dry conditions.
Yes!
fixation of co2
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.
