- Describe how CAM plants are different from C3 and C4 plants and why they have this adaptation. Where CAM plants are typically found?arrow_forwardA) The concentration of CO2 is lower inside a plant cell than in the atmosphere (outside the cell). In your own words, describe how the CO2 levels are kept low inside the plant cell and explain why this is necessary. Assume stomata are open. B) Regarding the situation presented in Part A and assuming that the stomata of the plant leaves are closed, would this favour the induction of photorespiration in a C3 plant? Explain. Make reference to relevant molecule or molecules as needed. Please clearly label your responses as A and Barrow_forwardDescribe C3 plants: a.)What is the CO2 pathway? b.)How much carbon is lost via photorespiration? c.)What is an example species?arrow_forward
- It is the term referring to the characteristic leaf structure of C4 plants that enables them to outperform C3 plants in an environment that has high O2 concentration and/or temperature. Unlike C3 and CAM plants, C4 plants, such as corn and sugarcane, have leaves with vascular bundles that are surrounded by a chloroplast-rich vascular bundle sheath, which is further surrounded by the spongy mesophyll.arrow_forwardIf a plant is removed from its natural environment and exposed to 100 percent CO2 composed of the radioisotope 14C, which of the following will not occur?arrow_forwardExamples of C3, C4 and CAM plants.arrow_forward
- Even though C4 plants require more ATP per CO₂ fixed, at higher temperatures, they are more efficient than C3 plants. Which of the following explains the effectiveness of C4 plants? contains a mutant form of Rubisco that does not bind to oxygen oxygen is prevented from entering the bundle-sheath cells where Rubisco is found Oduring the night, carbon dioxide is stored as malate so that stomata do not need to open during the day O photorespiration in C4 plants produces energy while in C3 plants, energy is consumedarrow_forwardDescribe the journey of a carbon atom. Begin with it as atmospheric CO2 and end with it as part of a cell wall molecule in a root. Describe a) the structures through which the C atom moves, b) the reason it moves, and c) any cellular process with which it is involvedarrow_forwardGive common plants (fruits/flowers) that are high in anthocyanin which can be found in Asian countries like Philippines.arrow_forward
- 33) True or False: Plants undergo photosynthesis to make glucose using light energy. Plants also use cellular respiration to break down glucose and convert it into energy (stored as ATP). A) True B) Falsearrow_forwardIf a C3 plant and a C4 plant are placed in separate sealedcontainers and provided with adequate light and water, bothwill survive. If both plants are placed in a single sealed container, the C3 plant will die. Explain.arrow_forwardWhat are the advantages and disadvantages for C3, C4, and CAM plants?arrow_forward
