6. Carbon Fixation is not the most efficient set of reactions, but what set of reactions are? The world's most abundant enzyme and annoying oxygen prevent the formation of sugar from light energy, carbon dioxide and water. But oxygen and the enzyme are not the cause of making photosynthesis an inefficient set of reactions. Extreme heat and light are the main triggers to start photorespiration and slow down photosynthesis in C3 plants. The story does not end here for plants in hot and sunny environments. Some amazing plants have adapted and overcome high temperatures. Discuss one type of plant that has evolved to fix carbon in consistently hot weather. Your answer needs to mention two important enzymes that work in two separate cycles, a 4 carbon molecule key to releasing CO2, and the energetic reaction that allows pyruvate to convert into PEP.
