There are thousands of different types of plants, but only three different ways in which they can undergo photosynthesis, or taking carbon dioxide from the air, water from their roots, and sunlight and transforming it into sugar and oxygen.
Carbon dioxide is a molecule made up of a carbon and two oxygen atoms, but it may be more familiar to you as the molecule that comes out of your mouth every time you exhale

Hi. .
here is your answer. .
Most of the plants fix co2 through calvin cycle and are called C3 plants. However Rubisco is thermolable and requires higher concentration of CO2 for its activity.
At higher temperature stomata close partially so that availability of co2 falls.
Moreover at high temperatures and at low CO2 concentration, RUBP carboxylase function as oxygenase and bring about oxidation.
Due to this a considerable part of photosynthetically fixed co2 goes back to atmosphere.
This is called photorespiration...
hope it helps you. ☺
