When you touch a hot plate, the transfer of heat from the plate to your hand is called Conduction.

Conduction is the answer you are looking for.

The right answer is Conduction.

Thermal conduction (or thermal diffusion) is a mode of thermal transfer caused by a temperature difference between two regions of the same medium, or between two media in contact, and being realized without global displacement of material (on a macroscopic scale ) as opposed to convection which is another heat transfer. It can be interpreted as the transmission from near to thermal agitation: an atom (or a molecule) gives up some of its kinetic energy to the neighboring atom.

Thermal conduction is a process of internal energy transport linked to molecular agitation and due to heterogeneity of the medium on a macroscopic scale.

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
Leya [2.2K]

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.
