  1. How do C3, C4, and CAM Photosynthesis compare? • What makes C4 photosynthesis more efficient than C3 photosynthesis in tropical climates? • How is CAM photosynthesis advantageous in desert climates? • Why could we call photorespiration a “mistake” in the functioning of the cell? • Rubisco is thought to have evolved when Earth had a reducing atmosphere. How does this help explain this “mistake”?
