Explanation / Answer
C3, C4 and CAM comparison
C3 C4 CAM Most of the plants are C3 plants and widely distributed Tropical grasses has C4 metabolism succulents are CAM plants Fix carbon in Calvin cycle and attach CO2 to RUBP Fix carbon in cytoplasm and attach CO2 to PEP Fix carbon only at night Enzyme used is RUBP carboxylase Enzyme used is PEP carboxylase Enzyme used is PEP carboxylase stomata are opened in day stomata are opened in day stomata are closed in day No bundle sheath cells are present bundle sheath cells are present No bundle sheath cells are present
