Answer:
Some plants that are adapted to dry environments, such as cacti and pineapples, use the crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) pathway to minimize photorespiration. This name comes from the family of plants, the Crassulaceae, in which scientists first discovered the pathway.

Answer:
In theory, increases in atmospheric levels of CO2 above current levels can increase photosynthesis by decreasing photorespiration (fixation of O2 rather than CO2 by Rubisco), which increases with temperature and is higher in C3 than C4 and crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plants (Sage & Monson, 1999
