Uses ATP and NADPH from light reaction as energy

Uses CO2

To produce glucose: it takes 6 turns and uses 18 ATP and 12 NADPH.

Remember: C3 = Calvin Cycle

Photorespiration

Occurs on hot, dry, bright days

Stomates close

Fixation of O2 instead of CO2

Produces 2-C molecules instead of 3-C sugar molecules

Produces no sugar molecules or no ATP

Photorespiration

Because of photorespiration, plants have special adaptations to limit the effect of photorespiration:

1. C4 plants

2. CAM plants

C4 Plants

Hot, moist environments

15% of plants (grasses, corn, sugarcane)

Photosynthesis occurs in 2 places

Light reaction - mesophyll cells

Calvin cycle - bundle sheath cells

CAM Plants

Hot, dry environments

5% of plants (cactus and ice plants)

Stomates closed during day

Stomates open during the night

Light reaction - occurs during the day

Calvin Cycle - occurs when CO2 is present

Question:

Why do CAM plants close their stomata during the day?

Slide 48

Cam plants close their stomata in the hottest part of the day to conserve water

Cam plants close their stomata in the hottest part of the day to conserve water
