Document Summary

Chlorenchyma = parenchyma containing chloroplasts -> basic cells for photosynthesis. Need to open stomata to get co2 but >90% xylem h2o - lost to transpiration. Goal: transpire more sugar per water (evolutionary oldest & least efficient water use) c3 -> c4 -> cam (evolutionary youngest & most efficient water use) All 3 use calvin cycle -> c3 - cc only vs c4 & cam - cc + upstream process (increase water use capacity) C3: appropriate (less) sunlight + more water = open stomata. More sunlight + less water = closed stomata -> co2 partial pressure decreases. Photorespiration vs respiration: -ve vs +ve; when rubisco fixes o2 + loses c as. C3: most (85%) flowering plants way of photosynthesis; effective under moist. C4: fix co2 into 4-c malate using enzyme pep carboxylase -> enzyme x react w/ o2 -> fix co2 @ low [co2] -> spatial separation - co2 fixation @ mesophyll cells vs calvin cycle @ bundle-sheath cells.
