why is water conservation in c3 c4 and cam plants


Why is water conservation in c3 c4 and cam plants important?

Cam stands for Crassulacean acid metabolism.

C3 and C4 conserve less water than Cam plants.

Actually, C4 plant captures more carbon than C3 plant. In the struggle to decrease carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere, genetic scientists have modified some large-scale crops into C4 bases. Cam plant is wholly dissimilar from C3 and C4 and examples of are the cactus and other succulent plants in direct to survive in dry dusty regions. In Cam plants, carbon fixation happens at night whereas C3 and C4 plants carry out photosynthesis during daylights.
