Explanation

mesophyll cell calvin cycle

Calvin cycleglyceraldehyde-3-phosphate

Cam plants mean crassulacean metabolic pathway.

This plant undergoes photosynthesis by seperation in time in other to reduce photorespiration.

Cam plants opens their stomata at nights, absorb Carbondioxide and store as oxaloacetate with the help of phosphoenol pyruvate carboxylase an enzyme that helps ferry co2 into the cell, oxaloacetate is then converted into malate and other organic acid and then stored in the vacoule. In the day the stomata closes and the stored malate is released from vacoule are broken down into pyruvate and CO2 in the mesophyll cell. The CO2 is then used in the calvin cycle to produce the G3P while pyruvate goes back to the cycle.

the relative atomic mass of an element is the mass of one atom of that element, relative to 1/12th of the mass of a  1212c atom. to convert to an absolute mass in kg, it is necessary to multiply by  1.661×10−271.661×10−27.

the relative atomic mass is roughly equal to the number of neutrons, plus the number of protons, in the nucleus of the atom.

for elements with more than one stable isotope (different types of nucleus with different numbers of neutrons but the same number of protons), the quoted mass is usually the average mass, weighted by the relative abundance of the different isotopes.
