|
Salt marsh stresses
|
•Wetland plant pore spaces are filled with water so the roots cannot get oxygen in the same way as normal land plants
•Sulfides and iron compounds get reduced into toxic compounds in wetland conditions •Salt-sodium in plant cells denaturalizes emzymes •temp and irradiation |
|
C4 Plants
|
•uses carbon more effectively than a C3 but has to fix carbon twice so has to use more energy
•has lower transpiration rate b/c can use up to 80% full sunlight so they can photosynthesize all day long vs. 50% for C3 which have to shut down at some point in the day •agranular chloroplasts wrapped around the veins of a plant, veins carry heat away cooling the plant. C3 have stacked chloroplasts with electrons bouncing around creating heat |
|
CAM Plants
|
• Stomata only open at night and store CO2 in vacuoles, during day stomata close and plant uses CO2
