Some statements regarding C2, C3, C4 and CAM plants

a.) For Sucrose synthesis after C2 C3 and C4 cycle having different procedure

b.) C4  cycle reduces occurrence of C2 which is thermodynamically very expensive and toxic by increasing the assimilation of CO2 at high temperature almost at 350 C

c.) C4 plant is generally found in near to equator  and they are more abundant than C3 plant

d.) In Dark when stomata are closed and CO2 not assimilated in the CAM plants

A) Fixed action pattern, complex sequence of behavior, Once released and continuous to completion, even when there is change in surrounding environment

B)  natural selection select that territorial behavior that is benefit is greater than cost 

C) Imprinting, a form of learning in which a very young animal fixes its attention on the first object with which it has visual, auditory, or tactile experience
