b Makes Crassulacean Acid
c Sensitive to Photorespiration
d Found in Desert Plants
e Produces 3-Phosphoglycerate
Final answer:The question asks to match photosynthetic adaptations to their characteristics. C4 plants have bundle sheath cells for efficient CO2 fixation. CAM plants make crassulacean acid and are common in desert environments, while C3 photosynthesis produces 3-phosphoglycerate and is sensitive to photorespiration.Explanation:The question involves placing items into the correct adaptation of photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, different mechanisms have evolved to help plants adapt to their environments, such as conserving water in arid conditions.Have Bundle Sheath Cells: This is characteristic of C4 photosynthesis, which is an adaptation to hot environments. In C4 plants, such as corn, carbon dioxide is concentrated in bundle sheath cells, reducing the need for gas exchange and thus conserving water.Makes Crassulacean Acid: Plants that perform Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) photosynthesis fix CO2 at night to form acids like malic acid, which is later used to release CO2 for the Calvin cycle during the day. This happens in desert plants like cacti and is an adaptation to arid environments.Sensitive to Photorespiration: This trait is typical of C3 photosynthesis, where the enzyme RuBisCO can bind to oxygen instead of carbon dioxide, leading to photorespiration, which is less efficient.Found in Desert Plants: CAM photosynthesis, which helps minimize water loss by fixing CO2 at night when the stomata are open, is found in desert plants.Produces 3-Phosphoglycerate: This is a product of C3 photosynthesis, which occurs in the Calvin cycle, the light-independent reactions where CO2 is fixed to build sugars in plants....
