When dry conditions occur and stomata are open for only a limited time, C4 and CAM photosynthesis fix carbon more effectively than C3 photosynthesis does. Why is this so? Because C4 and CAM plants grow tap roots that allow them to access deep groundwater O Because the CO2-capturing enzyme in CAM and C4 plants (PEPC) has a greater affinity for CO₂ than Rubisco does O Because during dry conditions, CAM and C4 switch from photosynthesis to photorespiration, which C3 plants cannot do O Because C4 and CAM plants shed their leaves when it is dry, thereby preventing transpiration water loss
