New cards

C4 plants

plants that carry out an adapted Calvin cycle, in which carbon fixation and glucose production occur in different cells

3
New cards

CAM plants

plants that thrive in arid conditions and have their two stages of the Calvin cycle occurring at different times

4
New cards

photorespiration

a process in which plants take up oxygen rather then carbon dioxide in the light, resulting in photosynthesis being less efficient
