C4

Occurs in hot/dry climates, only in the day, needs average amounts of water, fastest growth of plants

C3

Happens in moderate climates, only in the day, needs the most water

Water + Carbon Dioxide + Sunlight --> Glucose + Oxygen
6H2O + 6CO2 + Sunlight --> C6H12O6 +6O2

CAM

Occurs in VERY hot climates, slowest growth of plants, needs little water, during night and day

Aerobic

Breaks down the food in the body
with the help of oxygen to make ATP

Glucose + Oxygen --> Water + Carbon Dioxide + ATP x38
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6H2O + 6CO2 + ATP x38

Anaerobic

Breaks down the food in the body
without oxygen to make ATP
