5. Describe the different ways that C4 and CAM plants carry out photosynthesis, when compared to C3 plants; and then explain in each case why these differences evolved.

Solutions

Expert Solution

C4 plants are more productive than C3 plants as they can tolerate high CO2 concentrations and light intensity. They also do not exhibit photorespiration.
