Question

what is CAM and explain CAM pathway in detail ?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Pineapple is a CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) plant. CAM plants are the succulent plants which grow in dry conditions and are exposed to high temperatures. In these plants, stomata open during the night and close during the daytime. At night, CAM plants open their stomata, allowing carbon dioxide to diffuse into the leaves. This carbon dioxide is fixed into oxaloacetate by the enzyme PEP carboxylase that is converted to malate or other organic acids During day time the organic acids are broken down to release carbon dioxide which enters Calvin cycle.

Answer 2

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. 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 (CO.
