In the 1980s and 1990s, two Asian directors in particular crossed Continue reading...

C3 and C4 photosynthetic pathways

Plants have the ability to grown and survive in a number of different environments. They can adapt from hot and dry to frigid temperatures. In order to adapt to various environmental conditions plants have to adapt and develop mechanisms to survive different conditions. One mechanism of adaptation involves the mode of fixing carbon dioxide. Carbon fixation is the process of incorporating inorganic Carbon to an organic form. Photosynthesis is the process of carbon fixation used by the plants. C3 plants usually are found in cold, temperate climate and are most widely distributed worldwide. They use environmental carbon-dioxide (CO2) and Continue reading...
