Photosynthesis varies significantly between environments due to differences in light availability, water availability, and temperature conditions. In rainforests, which have abundant moisture and consistent sunlight, plants often exhibit high rates of photosynthesis and may utilize specialized adaptations to optimize light absorption and nutrient uptake. In contrast, in deserts, where water is scarce and temperatures can be extreme, plants have developed adaptations such as water-storing tissues and CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) pathways to minimize water loss while still capturing sunlight for photosynthesis.
How does photosynthesis vary in different environments (such as an area with a lot of rain like a rainforest vs. a desert)
