Solution

C4 photosynthesis and CAM photosynthesis are adaptations to avoid photorespiration.

Here's why:

  1. C4 photosynthesis: This is a complex process that plants in hot, sunny, and dry environments use to avoid photorespiration. It involves the separation of light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle in different cells. This separation allows the plant to increase the concentration of CO2 around Rubisco, which reduces the chances of photorespiration.

  2. CAM photosynthesis: CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) photosynthesis is another adaptation to avoid photorespiration. Plants using CAM photosynthesis store CO2 at night (when stomata are open) and use it during the day (when stomata are closed). This
