There are many biological processes that occur, some simultaneously, in a living plant. Some processes continue even after the cultivar is harvested like in the case of the curing process.
==Gas exchange==▼
Plants draw in CO2, Oxygen, and water vapor from the air around them via the Stomata. These compounds are essential to other processes such as photosynthesis. ▼
==Photosynthesis==
The Cannabis plant photosynthesizes like most plants. It uses carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and ribulose bisphosphate (an organic carbon compound) for photosynthesis, so it is categorized as a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C3_carbon_fixation C3 plant.]
C3 carbon fixation in photosynthesis leads to several characteristics:
▲==Gas exchange==
* Thrives where CO2 concentration is > 200ppm
▲Plants draw in CO2, Oxygen, and water vapor from the air around them via the Stomata.
* Cannot survive in very hot environments
* Loses 97% of water via transpiration
==Circadian Rhythm==
