Question

Plants using the CAM pathway occur in many locations but are most common in very arid locations, such as deserts. What deserts occur in North America and where are these deserts located?

Answer 1

The desert that occurs in North America is the Great Basin Desert and it is located at Nevada of North America.

CAM pathway, which is also called Crassulacean Acid Metabolism, is a pathway that involves carbon fixation that occurs in plants growing in arid areas.

With this pathway these plants are able to photosynthesize during the day, but only exchange gases at night.

An arid habitat is an environment that is characterized by extreme lack of water, example is the desert.

In North America, the desert that occurs there is the Great Basin Desert. It spreads into different states which include:

• Nevada
• Western Utah,
• Eastern California, and
• Idaho.

But the major part of Nevada is occupied by the Great Basin Desert.
