Biochemical attributes

For each of the anatomical or biochemical attributes listed below, indicate which are true of both C4 and CAM plants. Can perform photosynthesis without RUBISCO. PEP carboxylase generates a 4-carbon molecule that is stored until such times as the light reaction and the Calvin cycle can begin. Before being added to ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP), atmospheric carbon (CO2) can be added to a different organic molecule in the cell. There is a spatial or temporal separation between carbon fixation of the generation of reduced carbon Generally have greater water loss than c3 plants.
