<span>Hypertension is another term for high blood pressure. This occurs when there is too much pressure put on the blood vessels. The heart gets affected because it is pumping against the pressure, which causes strain on the heart. This can cause thickening of the heart walls, which can lead to other heart problems.

Stroke occurs when there blood supply to the brain is reduced or obstructed. This deprives the brain of oxygen and other nutrients. The occurrence of stroke increases with blood pressure because there is persistent pressure on the vessels which can ultimately lead to stroke. </span>

Hypertension, heart disease, and stoke are related because they all have to do with the heart. Hypertension is when you have high blood levels, heart disease is when your heart doesn't work properly, and stoke is when the heart beats hyperactively or the opposite.

What types of carbon fixation is least common for plants in arid locations?
timofeeve [1]
The answer is a C3 fixation.

Plants are located in different regions with a different condition, so they had to adapt the carbon fixation. There are three types of carbon fixation in plants - C3, C4, and CAM fixation. C3 and C4 plants open their stomata during the day while CAM plants open stomata during the night.
Plants in arid locations use CAM carbon fixation because of adaptation to water deficiency. In CAM plants, stomata are closed during the day and water loss is reduced. In the night when is colder, stomata open and carbon dioxide enters through stomata. In C4 carbon fixation, there is also adaptation to high temperatures thanks to enzymes that increase the rates of photorespiration, unlike the C3 fixation.
