think about the cam photosynthetic pathway: what would happen if a mutation prevented the intermediates stored in vacuoles from being released during the daytime? a) rubisco would grab o2 b) rubisco would not grab o2 vacuole



Answer :

Rubisco would grab [tex]O_2[/tex] if a mutation prevented the intermediates kept in vacuoles from being released during the day.

The light-dependent process constantly releases oxygen throughout the day. A tight [tex]O_2:CO_2[/tex] ratio increases the likelihood that Rubisco will take in oxygen.

Plants that use the crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) pathway to lessen photorespiration include cacti and pineapples. The Crassulaceae plant family is where the pathway was first discovered, hence the name.

CAM plants divide these processes in time as opposed to spatially separating the Calvin cycle's usage of [tex]CO_2[/tex] light-dependent reactions. On CAM plants, the stomata open at night, allowing [tex]CO_2[/tex] them to penetrate the leaves. By using the same process as [tex]C_4[/tex] plants, PEP carboxylase fixes this [tex]CO_2[/tex] into oxaloacetate, which is then transformed into malate or another kind of organic acid.

Option A is the proper response, so.
