Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy, normally from the Sun, into chemical energy that can be later released to fuel the organisms' activities. When light hits an object, it is absorbed or reflected. When it is absorbed it disappears from our sight and when it is reflected, we …show more content…
Plants that use the C3 pathway keep their stomata which are small holes on the underside of their leaves, open to take in the oxygen gas needed. The stomata in the plants close at night in order to conserve water but opens during the day to obtain the chemicals for photosynthesis.
In water conditions that has a sufficient amount of rainfall, the C3 pathway would be considered a disadvantage because the stomata would need to close at night to conserve water due to receiving the water it needs regularly. The C3 pathway would be an advantage in harsh weather conditions that are hot, dry and receive little rainfall.
The C3 pathway is the most common form of photosynthesis that uses a 3 carbon molecule in the Calvin cycle. Plants that use the C3 pathway keep their stomata which are small holes on the underside of their leaves, open to take in the oxygen gas needed. The stomata in the plants close at night in order to conserve water but opens during the day to obtain the chemicals for
