Solution

Carbon fixation occurs in the Calvin cycle in all three types of photosynthesis mentioned:

  1. C3 Photosynthesis: This is the most common type of photosynthesis. In C3 photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is fixed in the Calvin cycle to produce a three-carbon compound called 3-phosphoglycerate.

  2. C4 Photosynthesis: In C4 photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is initially fixed into a four-carbon compound. This compound is then broken down and the carbon dioxide released is fixed again in the Calvin cycle.

  3. CAM Photosynthesis: CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) photosynthesis is a type of photosynthesis that occurs in some plants in arid conditions. In CAM photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is fixed at night (when the plant's stomata are open) into a four-carbon compound. This compound is then broken down during the day (when the plant's stomata are closed) and the carbon dioxide released
