    This document discusses the types of enzymes involved in carbon fixation for three plant types: C3 plants use ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase, which has high affinity for oxygen and low affinity for carbon dioxide. C4 plants use phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, which has no affinity for oxygen and high affinity for carbon dioxide, allowing it to fix carbon dioxide when atmospheric levels are low. CAM plants also use phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase to fix carbon dioxide.
