Question

Explain CAM pathway in aquatic plants.

Answer 1

Hey mate...

here is your answer

Crassulacean acid metabolism, also known as CAM photosynthesis, is a carbon fixation pathway that evolved in some plants as an adaptation to arid conditions.[1] 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 (CO2). The CO2 is stored as the four-carbon acid malate in vacuoles at night, and then in the daytime, the malate is transported to chloroplasts where it is converted back to CO2, which is then used during photosynthesis. The pre-collected CO2 is concentrated around the enzyme RuBisCO, increasing photosynthetic efficiency. The mechanism was first discovered in plants of the family Crassulaceae.

hope it helps you!!!

Answer 2

Answer:

sorry bro but the question is incorrect

the cam pathway is only seen in xerophytes or desert plants where the water amount is limited

CAM plants stomata is closed at daytime so to reduce the loss of water and cam plants do photosynthesis in night time
