Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CAM (Crassulacean acid metabolism) adapted plants such as cacti, pineapples, etc., show a pattern of stomatal opening and closing that is the reverse of C3/C4 plants (C₃ plants). In CAM plants, stomata remain closed during the day to reduce water loss and open at night to allow CO2 uptake for photosynthesis. This is an adaptation to hot and dry climates where water is scarce.
