Is it a C3, C4 or CAM plant?
Is it a gymnosperm, an angiosperm, an embryo, a nitrogen fixing legume or a super storage oragan?????
This is due for tomorrow and I can't find any info on the web!!

Hi,
Here is a page with the scientific classification of zucchini. I think you should be able to figure out the rest of your questions from that.

Hi,
You might be interested in this discussion of the distribution of C3, C4, and CAM photosynthesis strategies among plants:

I am fairly sure you quickly deduced zucchini, as a squash, is a dicot angiosperm and a C3 photosynthesizer. It is not a gymnosperm, nor a legume.
