crassulacean acid metabolism
CAM photosynthesis

Some plants have resolved this problem by adopting crassulacean acid metabolism or C4 carbon fixation.

Sansevieria use the crassulacean acid metabolism process, which absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen at night.

A plant that uses the crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) as an adaptation for arid conditions.

Bromeliads also use crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthesis to create sugars.

Certain plants use alternative forms of photosynthesis, called Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) and C4.

CAM (Crassulacean acid metabolism)

It can switch between C3 carbon fixation and crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) depending on the availability of water.

W. mirabilis has been classified as a CAM plant (crassulacean acid metabolism) after reconciliation of some initially contradictory and confusing data.

Like other succulent plants, most cacti employ a special mechanism called "crassulacean acid metabolism" (CAM) as part of photosynthesis.

Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM photosynthesis) is named after the family, because the pathway was first discovered in crassulacean plants.

The three photosynthesis pathways are C3 carbon fixation, C4 carbon fixation and Crassulacean acid metabolism.

Plants of the genus Kalanchoe as well as many other plants growing in arid regions photosynthesize through Crassulacean acid metabolism.

One way is a variation of photosynthesis called Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) photosynthesis.

At least some species exhibit Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM), including H. carnosa.

'Sodium' :Sodium is involved in the regeneration of phosphoenolpyruvate in Crassulacean acid metabolism and C4 carbon fixation plants.

Crassulacean acid metabolism, also known as CAM photosynthesis, is a carbon fixation pathway that evolved in some plants as an adaptation to arid conditions.

Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a mechanism adopted by cacti and other succulents to avoid the problems of the C mechanism.

Several Platycerium are strongly adapted to xeric conditions and the drought tolerating mechanism Crassulacean Acid Metabolism has been reported for P. veitchii.

Laelia is one of the orchid genera known to use crassulacean acid metabolism photosynthesis, which reduces evapotranspiration during daylight because carbon dioxide is collected at night.

Drought tolerant plants typically make use of either C4 carbon fixation or crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) to fix carbon during photosynthesis.

Xerophytes, such as cacti and most succulents, also use PEP carboxylase to capture carbon dioxide in a process called Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM).

Major groups of oxygen-producing, photosynthetic organisms such as cyanobacteria, algae, C4, C3, and crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plants use Ferredoxin-thioredoxin reductase for carbon fixation regulation.

Many specialist desert plants practise a peculiar form of photosynthesis known as crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) whereby they open their stomata only at night, when water loss is liable to be at a minimum.

It also has CAM photosynthesis, which is more typical of desert plants.

This is normal as these plants use CAM photosynthesis.

Succulent leaves store water and organic acids for use in CAM photosynthesis.

Alpine succulent plants often utilize CAM photosynthesis to avoid water loss.

Cacti use CAM photosynthesis to survive the extreme heat and drought of the desert.

Many have evergreen leaves, and CAM photosynthesis.

Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM photosynthesis) is named after the family, because the pathway was first discovered in crassulacean plants.

The plant usually uses C3 photosynthesis, but when it becomes water- or salt-stressed, it is able to switch to CAM photosynthesis.

Some plants have more and less efficient photosynthesis reactions, such as the C3, C4, and CAM photosynthesis reactions.

Crassulacean acid metabolism, also known as CAM photosynthesis, is a carbon fixation pathway that evolved in some plants as an adaptation to arid conditions.

Three types of photosynthesis occur in plants, C3 carbon fixation, C4 carbon fixation and CAM photosynthesis.

A second mechanism, CAM photosynthesis, temporally separates photosynthesis from the action of RuBisCO.

In CAM photosynthesis, a plant stores carbon dioxide as acid and keeps its stomata closed during the day to save water (evaporation happens at a slower rate at night).

Pineapple carries out CAM photosynthesis, fixing carbon dioxide at night and storing it as the acid malate and then releasing it during the day, aiding photosynthesis.

Many desert plants have a special type of photosynthesis, termed crassulacean acid metabolism or CAM photosynthesis, in which the stomata are closed during the day and open at night when transpiration will be lower.

CAM photosynthesis is also found in aquatic species in at least 4 genera, including: Isoetes, Crassula, Littorella, Sagittari, and possibly Vallisneria, being found in a variety of species e.g. Isoetes howellii.

These differ by the route that carbon dioxide takes to the Calvin cycle, with C3 plants fixing CO2 directly, while C4 and CAM photosynthesis incorporate the CO2 into other compounds first, as adaptations to deal with intense sunlight and dry conditions.

One evolutionary question at present unanswered is whether the switch to full CAM photosynthesis in stems occurred only once in the core cacti, in which case it has been lost in Maihuenia, or separately in Opuntioideae and Cactoideae, in which case it never evolved in Maihuenia.

C4 plants did not become common until about 6 to 8 million years ago, and although CAM photosynthesis is present in modern relatives of the Lepidodendrales of the Carboniferous lowland forests, even if these plants also had CAM photosynthesis they were not a major component of the total biomass.
