Explain how C4 photosynthesis is based on a spatial arrangement of structures, whereas CAM photosynthesis is temporally based.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Describe both the advantages and the disadvantages of C4 photosynthesis over C3 photosynthesis.
Which of the following correctly sequences the steps of non-cyclic electron transport?    a) Chlorophyll molecules absorb UV radiation exciting electrons which flow through photosystem I, returning to the chlorophyll molecules b) Electrons donated from water molecules pass through photosystem I then photosystem II before returning to the chlorophyll molecules, generating ATP in the process c) Water is oxidized by the capture of light energy; these excited electrons are passed through the dark reactions, returning to chlorophyll during the final light reactions d) The ATP and NADPH generated by the reactions of photosystem II and photosystem I are utilized by the Calvin Cycle to build high energy glucose molecules
CAM photosynthesis differs from C4 photosynthesis in that in CAM… a) photorespiration occurs at a high rate. b) photosynthesis occurs entirely at night. c) photosynthesis extracts carbon from organic compounds. d) photosynthesis is more efficient in times of drought. e) photosynthesis is more efficient in high light environments.
