Which of the following characteristics allow CAM plants to survive in the desert?

Which photosynthetic pathway allows carbon dioxide to enter leaves only at night?

On hot days, what mechanism do C3, C4, and CAM plants use to reduce water loss?

When do short-day plants and long-day plants typically flower?

In C4 and CAM plants, carbon dioxide is fixed in the _____ of mesophyll cells.

Why do some plants, such as C4 and CAM plants, need to be specialized to survive in arid climates?

What is one adaptation of CAM plants that helps them conserve water?

Why are C4 plants able to photosynthesize with little to no apparent photorespiration?

In arid (dry) environments, which photosynthetic strategy is most directly associated with improved water-use efficiency due to stomata opening primarily at night?

Which statement best describes a C3 plant?

Desert plants are most likely to have which adaptation to minimize water loss?

Which of the following statements correctly describes the initial carbon fixation step in C3 plants during photosynthesis?
