carbon fixation | the synthesis of organic compounds from carbon dioxide, such as in photosynthesis |
stomata | one of many openings in a leaf or a stem of a plant that enable gas exchange to occur |
C4 pathway | a carbon-fixing process in which carbon dioxide is bound to a compound to form a four-carbon intermediate |
CAM pathway | crassulacean acid metabolism, a biochemical pathway in certain plants in which carbon dioxide is incorporated into organic acids at night and released for fixation in the Calvin cycle during the day |
