Please help with this photosynthesis table!

(I numbered the blanks to make answering easier)

Thank you so much!

Pathway Do the stomata typically open during the daytime or the nighttime? Is CO2 involved in the first carbon fixation event? The Calvin cycle typically only occurs in chloroplasts of the ______. Do the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle occur in the same cell? What percentage of land plant species perform the photosynthetic pathway? Is oxygen fixation to RUBP common for plants that use this pathway?   C3 1 2 3 4 5 6 C4 7 8 9 10 11 12 CAM 13 14 15 16 17 18

Explanation / Answer

Pathway Do the stomata typically open during the daytime or the nighttime? Is CO2involved in the first carbon fixation event? The Calvin cycle typically only occurs in chloroplasts of the ______ Do the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle occur in the same cell? What percentage of land plant species perform the photosynthetic pathway? Is oxygen fixation to RUBP common for plants that use this pathway? C3 Day Yes (Directly) Mesophyll cells Yes (Mesophyll cell, a light reaction on thylakoid discs and dark reaction outside of thylakoid) About 85% of the plants on earth use the C3 pathway to fix carbon via the Calvin Cycle. Yes, Up to 40% C4 Day Yes (From C4) Bundle sheath cells no, Both mesophyll cells (Light reaction) and bundle sheath cells (Dark reaction) About 3% or 7,600 species of plants use the C4 pathway, about 85% of which are angiosperms (flowering plants). No, Not detectable CAM Night Yes (From C4) Mesophyll cells Yes, Mesophyll cells About 6-7% or over 16,000 species of CAM plants on earth. No, Not detectable
