C3 Plant

This is a picture of fescue grass. Fescue grass (most lawn grasses) are an example of a C3 plant. C3 plants are those that are the most common and most efficient at using photosynthesis in cool, wet climates. They use the Calvin cycle to fix the carbon dioxide from the air. This grass is a C3 plant because it need wetter climates in order for photosynthesis to proceed properly.
