Fractionation of carbon isotopes in oxygenic photosynthesis the bundle sheath cells. This limits the carbon available to RuBisCO, which in turn lowers its fractionation effect. This accounts for the overall delta value in C4 plants to be -12 to -16 ‰. Plants that use Crassulacean acid metabolism, also known as CAM photosynthesis, temporally separate their chemical reactions between day and night. This strategy modulates stomatal conductance to increase water-use efficiency, so is well-adapted for arid climates. During the night, CAM plants open stomata to allow CO to enter the cell and undergo fixation into organic acids that are stored in vacuoles. This carbon is released to the
What You Need (The Twilight Zone) What You Need (The Twilight Zone) "What You Need" is episode 12 of the American television anthology series "The Twilight Zone". It is based on the short story of the same name by Lewis Padgett (Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore). Pedott , a peddler, has the curious ability to give people exactly what they need before they need it. He enters a coffee shop where he first gives a woman a vial of cleaner. Then he gives a down-on-his-luck ex-baseball player a bus ticket to Scranton, Pennsylvania. Moments later, the ball player receives a phone call at the cafe
