Dear student,

Certain plants which have Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) are known as CAM plants. They have scotoactive stomata. It means their stomata remain open during the night. It is the characteristic feature of CAM plants. These plants fix carbon dioxide during the night but form sugars only during the day when RuBisCO is active. Sedum, Kalanchoe, Pineapple, Opuntia, Snake plant are the examples of CAM plants. These plants also perform double carbon dioxide fixation. The carbon dioxide acceptor in CAM plants is Phosphoenol pyruvic acid (PEP) during the night and Ribulose bisphosphate is carbon dioxide acceptor during the daytime. The first stable product in case of CAM plants is Oxalo acetic acid (OAA).

Thank you
