Solution
C4 photosynthesis and CAM photosynthesis are the processes that function in plants living in hot, dry climates.
C4 photosynthesis is a process that plants use to concentrate high levels of carbon dioxide in their leaves. This process is particularly efficient in hot, dry climates and in conditions where water is scarce. Examples of C4 plants include corn and sugarcane.
CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) photosynthesis allows plants to open their stomata at night to minimize water loss, a useful adaptation in hot, dry climates. During the night, these plants fix carbon dioxide and store it as malic acid to be used during the day for photosynthesis. Examples of CAM plants include cacti and succulents.
