You can also use the photosynthesis notes/cliff notes/and or PPT below to do this. Terms: CAM, C3, C4, and photorespiration. Then after making bullet notes for each of them, write a short explanation of the conflict of transpiration that allows water to escape the plant and photosynthesis which allows carbon dixoide to enter the very same stomata to enter the light independent reactions.
