Cam stands for Crassulacean acid metabolism. C3 and C4 conserve less water than Cam plants. Actually, C4 plant capture more carbon than C3 plant. In the struggle to reduce carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere, genetic scientists have modified some large scale crops into C4 bases. Cam plant is wholly different from C3 and C4 and examples of are the cactus and other succulent plants in order to survive in dry dusty regions. In Cam plants, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_fixation carbon fixation] occurs at night while C3 and C4 plants carry out photosynthesis during daylights.

Are C3 or C4 plants aquatic?
The plants which live in water are aquatic plants.
What does C4 plants require less of to produce the same amount of carbonhydrates?
It requires less water than c3 plants.
What do c3 and c4 plants have in common?
C3 and C4 plants are named after the number of carbon molecules in the first products of their carbon fixation cycles. C3 plants produce 3-phosphoglycerate and C4 plants produce Oxaloacetate.
In what climates do C4 and C3 fixation happen more efficiently?
In hot, arid conditions, C3 and C4 plants have to partially close their stomata to reduce water loss. However, this inhibits photosynthesis. Therefore, C3 and C4 plants are photosynthetically more efficient in more temperate environments.
Where does the Calvin Cycle occur in C3 plants?
The Calvin Cycle occurs in the stroma (inside a chloroplast)
Are C3 or C4 plants aquatic?
The plants which live in water are aquatic plants.
Are C4 plants larger than C3 plants?
c3
Why C4 plants efficient in law water than C3 plants?
the question doesn't make sense
Are tomatoes C3 or C4 plants?
C3
What type of plant will you find in the tropical rain forest c3 plants or c4 plants?
C3 due to the abundance of water. C4 and CAM plants tend to inhabit very dry environments and have adaptations that minimise photorespiration (a process that wastes ATP) and water loss.
What does C4 plants require less of to produce the same amount of carbonhydrates?
It requires less water than c3 plants.

What is the value of Carbon dioxide compensation point in C3 and C4 plants respectively?
Around 50ppm for C3 plants and around 5ppm for C4 plants.
Where does the Calvin Cycle occur in C3 plants?
The Calvin Cycle occurs in the stroma (inside a chloroplast)
Is broccoli a c3 or c4 plant?
Well, broccoli is a c4 plant because plants that are in the section of c3 live in hot, dry temperatures and climates. So cacti would be a great example of c3 plants. Broccoli is not a c3 plant it is a c4 plant. So a way to remember this would be to say that warm or cool plants with rainy season and those whom actually get water more then once in every blue moon are c4 plants and then those whom get water few times a year and live in desert type climates are c3 plant. Hope this helped you, if you have anymore questions you may email me at dmac558@aol.com.
How do C4 and C3 plants differ?
c4 plants have first product of calvin cycle is oxaloacetic acid but in c3 plants is phospfoglyceric acid
