What else can I help you with?
Is prickly peare cactus a c3 or c4 plant?
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.
Is Carpobrotus edulis a CAM plant?
It is a facultive CAM which means it can switch between C3 and CAM depending on the conditions.
Is a basswood tree an example of a c3 c4 or CAM plant?
A basswood tree is an example of a C3 plant. C3 plants are the most common type of plants and perform photosynthesis through the C3 pathway, which means they fix carbon dioxide into a three-carbon compound during the Calvin cycle.
Is agapanthus africanus a CAM plant?
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.
In C3 plants the conservation of water promotes?
Cam stands for Crassulacean acid metabolism. C3 and C4 conserve less water than Cam plants. Actually, C4 plant capture more carbon than C3 plant. In the struggle to reduce carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere, genetic scientists have modified some large scale crops into C4 bases. Cam plant is wholly different from C3 and C4 and examples of are the cactus and other succulent plants in order to survive in dry dusty regions. In Cam plants, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_fixation carbon fixation] occurs at night while C3 and C4 plants carry out photosynthesis during daylights.
Is an apple a c3 or c4 plant?
An apple tree is a C3 plant, which means it uses the C3 photosynthetic pathway.
Is ficus religiosa a CAM plant?
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.
Is Acacia C3 or C4 plant?
Cocoa is neither a C3 or C4 plant. Though it tends to live in warmer climates, it does not fit into either category.
What type of environment are most CAM plants found?
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
Why wheat is a C3 plant?
Wheat has evolved as a C3 plant because it naturally occurs in temperate regions of the world, where the temperature is mild. In areas of the world where the temperature is high, plants with metabolisms such as C4 and CAM begin to dominate, as C3 plants are less energy efficient at high temperatures. This is because rubisco, the key protein in fixing carbon dioxide in C3 plants, is induced to dissipate the products of photosynthesis by high temperatures (a process known as photorespiration). This is a wasteful procedure that can lead to net loss of carbon from the plant. However, as C4 and CAM mechanisms for carbon dioxide fixation also require more energy, C3 plants dominate in temperate regions (and make up the majority of plant life on Earth).
Is bamboo a C3 plant?
Bamboo is a C3-plant.
Is Eucalyptus is a C3 plant?
Yes, eucalyptus is a C3 plant. C3 plants are the most common type of plants and they use the C3 carbon fixation pathway during photosynthesis.
