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.

Explain why polar and ionic R groups are hydrophilic.
Elenna [48]

Explanation:

They are hydrophobic. About 5 amino acids have polar side chains, R-groups which do not ionize or become positively or negatively charged. These R-groups are neither strongly hydrophilic nor hydrophobic. Atoms in long molecules, such as polypeptides, are not rigidly fixed in space or position

suppose you have the monohybrid pea plants in your garden and find that they produce round seed to wrinkled seeds in the ration
Arisa [49]

Answer;

The correct answer would be Rr.

In a monohybrid cross, the phenotype ratio of 3:1 is obtained only when both the parents are heterozygous for the trait.

In this condition, the heterozygous genotype would be Rr. The phenotype of both the parents would be round seeds (R) as the round is a dominant trait.

The cross of these parents would produce offspring with three types of genotypes RR, Rr, and rr in ratio 1:2:1.

Thus, the phenotypic ratio would come out to be 3 (round seed):1 (wrinkled seed).
