  2. C4 carbon fixation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C4_carbon_fixation

    C 4 carbon fixation or the Hatch–Slack pathway is one of three known photosynthetic processes of carbon fixation in plants. It owes the names to the 1960s discovery by Marshall Davidson Hatch and Charles Roger Slack .

  3. Crassulacean acid metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crassulacean_acid_metabolism

    The pineapple is an example of a CAM plant.. Crassulacean acid metabolism, also known as CAM photosynthesis, is a carbon fixation pathway that evolved in some plants as an adaptation to arid conditions [1] that allows a plant to photosynthesize during the day, but only exchange gases at night.

  4. C3 carbon fixation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C3_carbon_fixation

    C 3 carbon fixation is the most common of three metabolic pathways for carbon fixation in photosynthesis, the other two being C 4 and CAM. This process converts carbon dioxide and ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP, a 5-carbon sugar) into two molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate through the following reaction: CO 2 + H 2 O + RuBP → (2) 3-phosphoglycerate

  5. Photosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthesis

    The term photosynthesis is derived from the Greek phōs (φῶς, gleam) and sýnthesis (σύνθεσις, arranging together), [96] [97] [98] while another word that he designated was photosyntax, from sýntaxis (σύνταξις, configuration). Over time, the term photosynthesis came into common usage. Later discovery of anoxygenic ...

    This is due to the nerve pathways from those joints—the brain sends "help me" signals not to the source itself but along the nerve pathway, which leads to referred pain.

  7. Evolution of photosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_photosynthesis

    There are three major metabolic pathways by which photosynthesis is carried out: C 3 photosynthesis, C 4 photosynthesis, and CAM photosynthesis. C 3 photosynthesis is the oldest and most common form. A C3 plant uses the Calvin cycle for the initial steps that incorporate CO 2 into organic material.

  8. Axon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axon

    An axon (from Greek ἄξων áxōn, axis) or nerve fiber (or nerve fibre: see spelling differences) is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, in vertebrates, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials away from the nerve cell body. The function of the axon is to transmit information to different ...
