Both C4 and CAM plants have modified carbon fixation - how do they each do carbon fixation and
what is the benefit of each of these types of carbon fixation? What will be an ideal response?
C4 plants have spatially separated carbon fixation from photosynthesis, reducing the negative impact
of photorespiration. CAM plants have temporally separated carbon fixation from photosynthesis,
minimizing water loss that would result from opening their stomates during the day.
