In infectious mononucleosis the monospot test detects heterophil antibodies. The mononuclear spot test or monospot test is a form of the heterophile antibody test for a rapid detection of infectious mononucleosis due to Epstein–Barr virus (EBV). The test is specific for heterophile antibodies produced by the human immune system in response to EBV infection. About 70%–80% of patients with infectious mononucleosis produce these heterophile antibodies, which are not specific for EBV infection but are good predictors.

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.
