WHAT DOES CAM PLANT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

CAM plant

Crassulacean acid metabolism

Crassulacean acid metabolism, also known as CAM photosynthesis, is a carbon fixation pathway that evolved in some plants as an adaptation to arid conditions. In a plant using full CAM, the stomata in the leaves remain shut during the day to reduce evapotranspiration, but open at night to collect carbon dioxide. The CO 2 is stored as the four-carbon acid malate, and then used during photosynthesis during the day. The pre-collected CO 2 is concentrated around the enzyme RuBisCO, increasing photosynthetic efficiency.

Definition of CAM plant in the English dictionary

The definition of CAM plant in the dictionary is any plant that undergoes a form of photosynthesis known as crassulacean acid metabolism, in which carbon dioxide is taken up only at night.
