CAM Plants
CAM plants also have a mechanism for dealing with photorespiration.
- Stomata open at night: CO2 enters, is fixed by PEP carboxylase and converted to malate.
- Malate is stored in vacuoles until daytime.
- Stomata close during the day: malate is broken down into CO2 which enters the Calvin cycle.
Examples of CAM Plants
Pineapple, cacti, succulents.
