Adaptation to the Environment• These 3 different “ways” (i.e., C3, C4, and CAM)to accomplish
photosynthesis illustrate how organisms _________________ to their environment. Each has its advantages and disadvantages
• C4 – likely _______ in high light intensity, high temperature, and limited rainfall environments.
• C3 –likely _______ in lower light intensity, moderate temperature, and more abundant rainfall environments
• CAM – likely _______ in extremely arid environments (ferns and cone-bearing plants exhibit this process in
addition to many flowering plants like some orchids and lily species)

sedges)
