Question
Chapter 8.5, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The advantages of C3, C4 and the CAM (Crassulacean acid
Introduction: the plants are divided into three categories based on the route of metabolism opted by them. The C3 plants produce a three-carbon compound through the Calvin cycle. While the c4 plants form four carbon compound that is oxaloacetate and the CAM plants collect the sunlight during the day and use it produce carbohydrates during the night.
