Over time, what would we expect in the evolution of C3, C4 and CAM strategies?
a)As the most complicated plants, CAM plants are most likely to go extinct.
b)As the probable ancestral form of photosynthesis, C3 plants are primitive and most likely to go extinct.
c)Because CAM plants make better usage of metabolism during the night, they are superior and will eventually become the dominant plants.
d)Because CO2 is delivered by the bundle sheath cells in C4 plants, they are superior and will eventually dominate.
e)Each form of photosynthesis has advantages in a heterogeneous world and as long as environmental conditions vary, all forms will have an adaptive advantage in their unique niche.

I am doing a project on Mycobacterium tuberculosis the bacteria that causes TB, I need 4 requirements it needs in its environment to live there, such as an adequate amount of oxygen, Acidic environments, salty environments, etc. I need at least four, any help is appreciated. Also its energy and metabolism use, or niche would be helpful
