Question
Chapter 8, Problem 10TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Certain plants that are confined to hot and dry environments have developed the ability to separate the reactions taking place in the Calvin cycle and the process of CO2 fixation. Stomata of these plants are usually open during the night time. This leads to the entry of CO2 in the cells of these plants.
