Question | Answer |
---|---|
Calvin Cycle | A biochemical pathway of photosynthesis in which carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using ATP. |
Carbon Fixation | The synthesis of organic compounds from carbon dioxide, such as in photosynthesis. |
Stomata | Under hot and dry conditions, plants can rapidly lose water to the air through small pores. They are usually located on the undersurface of leaves. |
C4 Pathway | A carbon-fixing process in which carbon dioxide is bound to a compound to form a four-carbon intermediate. |
CAM Pathway | A water-conserving, carbon-fixing process; CAM plants take in carbon at night and fix it into various organic compounds and release it during the day. |
