AP Bio Scavenger Hunt: C4 plant

Cacti are C4 plants. This means that the C2 it absorbs is first fixed into four C atoms before going through the Calvin cycle.

  1. I'm sorry, but this appears to be an Aloe plant. Cacti have a single main body for storing water, while this plant appears to have no main body. Is there an oil secreting from the plant? If so, it is probably an Aloe plant.
