Fractionation of carbon isotopes in oxygenic photosynthesis Calvin cycle during the day, when stomata are closed to prevent water loss, and the light reactions can drive the necessary ATP and NADPH production. This pathway differs from C4 photosynthesis because CAM plants separate carbon by storing fixed CO in vesicles at night, then transporting it for use during the day. Thus, CAM plants temporally concentrate CO to improve Rubsico efficiency, whereas C4 plants spatially concentrate CO in bundle sheath cells. The distribution of plants which use CAM photosynthesis includes epiphytes (e.g., orchids, bromeliads) and xerophytes (e.g., succulents, cacti). In Crassulacean acid metabolism, isotopic fractionation combines the effects of
Need for achievement do) assess such things as "creativity" in any general sense. One has always to ask "creativity in relation to what?" So McClelland's measures, originally presented as means of assessing "personality", are best understood as means of measuring competence in ways which break radically with traditional psychometric approaches. Everybody has different goals and needs for achievement based off many factors like past experiences, education, the risks, and the feedback they will receive. Need for achievement Need for achievement (N-Ach) refers to an individual's desire for significant accomplishment, mastering of skills, control, or high standards. The term was first used by Henry
