WHAT DOES CRASSULACEAN ACID METABOLISM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

crassulacean acid metabolism

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.
