Heya!!!!!!!!!
Here is the answer to your question....
@ Crassulacean Acid Metabolism is a carbon fixation pathway present in some plants.It is also known as CAM photosynthesis.
@ These plants fix carbon dioxide duringthe night, storing it as the four- carbon acid malate. The fixation process now occurs in mesophyll cells(found in leaves) so that they will be more exposed to air and in order to take in more carbon dioxide.
@ The malate which is the product of the fixation process, is pumped deeper in(the leaf) so that it won't be exposed to air and to oxygen. This is to avoid photorespiration and the wasteful process,, since RuBisCo is used in the Calvin cycle.
Hope it helps.....

HEY FRND..☺✋✌
✴⚫↪CAM pathway is method of PHOTOSYNTHESIS found in certain succulent plants (members of the family Crassulaceae) that live in hot, dry climates and close their stomata during the day to avoid excessive TRANSPIRATION losses and open them at night. During the night CO2 is taken inand stored as organic acids (e.g. malic acid); during the day the CO2 is released from the organic acids and used in the CALVIN CYCLE
