Question
Chapter 10, Problem 10.5CR
Summary Introduction
To find: The reason that C4 and CAM photosynthesis are more energetically expensive than C3 photosynthesis and what climate condition would flavor C4 and CAM plants.
Introduction: A plant fixes carbon for the synthesis of carbohydrates from energy-rich compounds during the dark reaction in the process of photosynthesis and C3, C4 and CAMP are three different pathways of dark reaction.
