How is the process of carbon fixation in CAM plants different from the process in C3 and C4 plants? a. CAM plants require a larg

er exchange of gases in the atmosphere than C3 and C4 plants. b. CAM plants are better adapted for moist, low light areas than C3 and C4 plants. c. CAM plants conserve water by allowing transpiration to occur at night rather than the day like it does with C3 and C4 plants. d. All of the above

Answer:

The correct answer would be option C.

Plants evolved different methods to prevent or reduce the effects of photorespiration.

The C3 plants are the most common plants which do not have any special methods or physiology to prevent photorespiration.

The C4 are the plants in which carbon fixation and the Calvin cycle takes place in different cells. Carbon is fixed in the mesophyll cells with the help of PEP carboxylase enzyme. It fixes carbon and converts PEP into oxaloacetate. The Calvin cycle takes place in the bundle-sheath cells.

In contrast, CAM (Crassulacean acid metabolism) plants are those in which carbon fixation and Calvin cycle are separated into time. The carbon is fixed during the night as it helps in reducing the loss of water through transpiration.

The Calvin cycle takes place during the day time in the same cell, that is, mesophyll cell.

Which molecule absorbs the energy of a photon in photosynthesis.

Explain why most farmers use stem cuttings to plant new fruit trees rather than plant seeds.
Dvinal [7]

The main reason that most farmers use stem cuttings rather than just planting a seed is that a tree's genetic variation will occur. The seeds of many fruit trees tend to vary differently from the parent, because seeds themselves are produced by sexual reproduction (i.e they receive genes from a male and female to form). As they are a cross from two sets of genes, many fruit trees are not “true to seed”. Their seeds will produce a generally different variety of tree from the parent. When using stem cuttings, it's almost like a cloning process.

If the membrane potential at the axon hillock becomes subthreshold, an action potential will be fired.
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Action potential will only be fired when the memebrane potential is above the threshold level.

This follows the all-none -principle.

No matter the strenght of stimulus if the magnitride is not upto the threshold level,No action potential will.be generated.

An example is the flushing of water closet or lavoratory.No mater one tried to flush,if the water in the closet does not fill up to the threshold for flushing,,to propel flushing. not flushing will take place.
