Front

How do CAM plants fix CO2?

Back

They fix CO2 into organic acids during the night when temperatures are cooler.

Front

What type of plants are classified as CAM plants?

Back

Plants that fix carbon dioxide at night.

Front

What do CAM plants store during the night?

Back

Carbon Dioxide.

Front

What is the main difference between C3, C4, and CAM plants in terms of carbon fixation timing?

Back

C3 plants fix CO2 during the day, C4 plants fix CO2 during the day but in a different location, and CAM plants fix CO2 at night.

Front

What environmental conditions favor the growth of CAM plants?

Back

Hot and arid conditions.

Front

What is the role of organic acids in CAM plants?

Back

They store fixed carbon dioxide for use during the day.

Front

What is a key characteristic of C4 plants compared to C3 plants?

Back

C4 plants have a specialized mechanism to concentrate CO2, which increases efficiency in photosynthesis.
