23
Q

C3 Plants

Study These Flashcards
A

Plants use rubisco & have to close stoma on hot days

Dehydration occurs

24
Q

C4 Plants

Study These Flashcards
A

_tropical grasses etc.

  • uses PEP carboxylase (higher affinity for CO2)
  • Avoids Rubisco
  • SPATIAL DIFFERENCE
25
CAM Plants
- ie. Cactus etc. - Stomata only open at night - TEMPORAL DIFFERENCE
