a. Sugar cane, corn, carbgrass which are identified as C4 Plants allow fixation of carbon dioxide into four carbon compounds. This happens during the hottest time of the day - their so-called stomata gets partially closed. C4 plants have been identified to lose only half of the water that C3 plants lose when they produce the similar amount of carbs.

b.CAM PATHWAY - Plants such as pineapples and cactus have different approach to adapting heat. Carbon is fixed through a cam pathway. They use it to open their stomata at night and close it in the morning.

andre [41]

Answer:

diverse proteins embedded in a phospholipid bilayer

Explanation:

According to fluid mosaic model the cell membrane is made of bilayer of phospholipid. Many proteins are embedded in this bi layer. Carbohydrate and cholesterol are also found in different forms. Carbohydrate can either be attached to the embedded protein in which case it is called as glycoprotein or it can be connected to the lipid molecule in layer and called as glycolipid.

Proteins can be found in two forms too. They can either be embedded in the layer i.e. they can penetrate single or both layers. These proteins are called as integral proteins. They can also be present on one side of the membrane and not penetrate the lipid bilayer in which case they are called as peripheral proteins.
