No, maize is not a CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) plant. Maize follows the C4 photosynthetic pathway, which is different from the CAM pathway in terms of carbon fixation and timing of metabolic processes.
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.
There are three main groups of photosynthesis: C3, C4, and CAM CAM plants are able to absorb CO2 from the air during nighttime (which helps them save water) and bind it to sugars during the daytime without losing additional water. This method is 50 times more efficient at saving water then C3 however it is significantly slower. please add an example of a CAM plant
C4 and CAM are types of photosynthesis that differ from the standard C3 type. In C4 and CAM, the stomata, or air pores, in the leaves only open at night to minimize moisture loss from evaporation. This mechanism is common in very hot or dry climates.
photo tropism it means the plant is responding to photosynthesis thigmatropism it means the plant is resonding to touching gravitropsim it means the plant is resonding to gravity hyderatropism it means the plant is responding to water
Pineapples and cactus.
Pineapples and cactus.
A CAM plant conserves moisture during the day.
No. Corn is a C4 plant.
No, maize is not a CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) plant. Maize follows the C4 photosynthetic pathway, which is different from the CAM pathway in terms of carbon fixation and timing of metabolic processes.
It is a facultive CAM which means it can switch between C3 and CAM depending on the conditions.
Yes, Agapanthus africanus is a C3 plant, not a CAM plant. CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) plants have a unique photosynthetic adaptation to conserve water by opening their stomata at night.
Yes, Ficus religiosa, commonly known as the sacred fig or peepal tree, is a C3 plant, not a CAM plant. CAM plants use a specialized photosynthetic pathway called Crassulacean Acid Metabolism to adapt to arid environments by opening their stomata at night to conserve water and perform photosynthesis during the day.
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.
They are able to undergo photosynthesis based on their adaptation to the environment. One such example is the CAM plant, which have become adapted to the dry environment and is able to perform photosynthesis at the optimum time.
Yes!
A CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) plant is a type of plant that photosynthesizes at night to minimize water loss in arid conditions. Examples of CAM plants include certain succulents and cacti, but not crabgrass, peas, corn, or pineapples. Pineapple is a well-known CAM plant, utilizing this adaptation to thrive in dry environments, while crabgrass, peas, and corn primarily use C3 or C4 photosynthesis.
