Biodiversity Heritage Library cc-by

Stuckenia pectinata (Sago Pondweed) is a species of perennial herb in the family Potamogetonaceae. It has a self-supporting growth form. It is associated with freshwater habitat. Sago Pondweed is native to the contiguous United States, Saint-Pierre et Miquelon, Canada, Alaska, North America, eastern north america, Pampa, and Rio Grande do Sul. It has simple, broad leaves. It is a photoautotroph. Individuals can grow to 1.4 m.

- Definition: Determined for type of life cycle being annual, binneal, perennial etc.
- Comment: The life cycle habit indicates the typical duration of an individual plant's life. Common values are annual, biennial, and perennial. Some plants have different durations depending on environment or location, so a plant can have more than one value.

C3 photosynthetic plant
- URI: https://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q286954
- Definition: one of three metabolic pathways for carbon fixation in photosynthesis, along with C4 and CAM. This process converts carbon dioxide and ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP, a 5-carbon sugar) into 3-phosphoglycerate through the following reaction: CO2 + H2O + RuBP → (2) 3-phosphoglycerate This reaction occurs in all plants as the first step of the Calvin–Benson cycle.
