What are C3, C4 and CAM plants explicitly?

Are there any differences in the light reactions of C3, C4, and CAM plants?

  • I know the differences in the calvin cycle but didn't know if there are any differences in the light reaction stages of the three plants.

  • Answer:

    I didn't know there were significant differences in the Calvin cycle. I don't think there are significant differences in the light reactions either. They are mostly differences in how CO2 is delivered to RuBisCo which is the enzyme that is involved in carbon fixation or how the CO2 is captured. http://wc.pima.edu/Bfiero/tucsonecology/plants/plants_photosynthesis.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RuBisCO
