The 3 types of photosynthesis are

  • C3 pathway
  • C4 pathway
  • CAM

The main process through which plants absorb carbon dioxide and make carbohydrates is called C3 photosynthesis. In C3 photosynthesis, Rubisco accepts CO2 and simultaneously reduces it into carbs. When I say so, I'm referring to the chloroplast of the same cell and the time of day (sunlight), when the stomata are open, the CO2 enters the cell, and the water exits through the same aperture. This poses a problem because it loses the most water and stresses the plant during July's peak photosynthetic activity.

C4 grasses, commonly referred to as "warm season grasses," include foxtail, crab grass, sugarcane, sorghum, corn, and crab grass. These plants have rubisco in one cell and a mechanism for drawing in CO2 in a second cell, which are joined by spaces between the cells known as plasmodesmata. As a result, the plant can concentrate its CO2 near the rubisco and avoid the oxygen inhibition that would otherwise occur in the C3 pathway. These plants don't receive a lot of sunlight in July. Additionally, due to the cells' specialisation, 40% less water is required per weight of CO2 reduction. Simply put, it uses water 40% more efficiently on average.

Plants in the desert contain CAM. To reduce water loss during the hot days, these plants open their stomata at night to let CO2 in. During the night, the CO2 is converted to malic acid and stored in the plant's vacuole. The CO2 is "removed" from the malic acid when the desert sun shines, and it is then added to the rubisco to produce carbohydrates. Stomatal openings are closed at this time.

Hence, types of photosynthesis is decided based on plants primary acceptor of carbon dioxide.
