What do CAM plants open during the day and close at night?
Latraviajeterfb7303
Cam plants close during the night and open during the day because they are photosensitive and respond to light. To do it experimentally, try with a torch for some time.

. CAM plants close their during the day and open them at night?
stomata
Is it true that guard cells of non desert plants often close during the daytime and open at night to conserve water?
The guard cells of non desert plants simply contract a bit but do not close. Desert plants close their guard cells.
Can water under ground in the desert dry out?
Plants that grow in arid environments have CAM pathway for photosynthesis. This means that the plants open their stomata at night time and close them during the day (more tropical plants are the reverse - open stomata during the day and close at night) so less water is lost due to evaporation in the heat of the day.
Why is the size of stoma smaller in the night?
stomata only open during the day and close at night becasue plants only photosynthesis during the day cos they need the sun which isn't visible at night.
Why do plants do opposite breathing at night?
Many plants, called C3 and C4 plants, open their stomas during the day to let in carbon dioxide to instigate the process of cellular respiration. However some plants called CAM plants open their stomas at night. The main reason for this process is due to the physical environment the plants are located in. The majority of CAM plants are located in hot, dry and desert environments where water is scarce. As a result the CAM plants evolved so that they could close their stomas during the day and open them at night, to help retain water, at night the plants can still absorb CO2. Some examples of CAM plants are, cacti, pineapples, and aloe.
How many stomata are likely to open at night?
In most green plants the stomata are only open during the day. They allow carbon dioxide to reach the cells where the majority of photosynthesis takes place. As they also allow transpiration (water loss) the stomata of most plants close during the night when photosynthesis is not possible. There is a group of mainly desert plants known as CAM plants. These carry out a process called Crassulacean acid metabolism, which effectively allows them to store carbon dioxide in their leaves. In these plants the stomata are normally closed during the day to prevent water loss when temperatures are high, and open during the night when temperatures are lower.
Which plants keep their stomata open only at night?
In most green plants the stomata are only open during the day. They allow carbon dioxide to reach the cells where the majority of photosynthesis takes place.

Why do some plants open their stomata by night instead by day?
Very few of them do open at night -- In most green plants the stomata are only open during the day. They allow carbon dioxide to reach the cells where the majority of photosynthesis takes place.

In these plants the stomata are normally closed during the day to prevent water loss when temperatures are high, and open during the night when temperatures are lower.
What do leaves go through at night?
At night, the leaves of C3 plants close their stomata and wait until the sunlight. For CAM plants, this is when the plants open their stomata and allow the carbon dioxide to come in.
Do you open or close vents in the summer?
leave it open all year closing it during the day open at night for ac
Why does the stomata of a desert plant close during the day?
In desert plants, the stomata is open during night. During night, desert plants (also called xerophytes) absorb co2 and form an intermediate. Then during day time when the stomata is closed to prevent loss of water, they use this stored carbon dioxide to perform photosynthesis.
