Solution

CAM photosynthesis and C4 photosynthesis are the processes that function in plants living in hot, dry climates.

Here's why:

  1. CAM Photosynthesis: CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) photosynthesis allows plants to close their stomata during the day to reduce evapotranspiration, and open them at night to fix carbon dioxide. This is particularly useful in hot, dry climates where water loss can be a major issue.

  2. C4 Photosynthesis: C4 photosynthesis is a more complex process that also helps plants in hot, dry climates. It involves the separation of light-dependent and light-independent reactions in different cells, which allows for more efficient carbon fixation and less water loss.

  3. C3 Photosynthesis: This is the most common form of photosynthesis, but it's not particularly well
