Slows water loss by opening stomata only at night
A CAM plant conserves moisture during the day.
No. Corn is a C4 plant.
No, maize is not a CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) plant. Maize follows the C4 photosynthetic pathway, which is different from the CAM pathway in terms of carbon fixation and timing of metabolic processes.
It is a facultive CAM which means it can switch between C3 and CAM depending on the conditions.
Yes, Agapanthus africanus is a C3 plant, not a CAM plant. CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) plants have a unique photosynthetic adaptation to conserve water by opening their stomata at night.
Yes, Ficus religiosa, commonly known as the sacred fig or peepal tree, is a C3 plant, not a CAM plant. CAM plants use a specialized photosynthetic pathway called Crassulacean Acid Metabolism to adapt to arid environments by opening their stomata at night to conserve water and perform photosynthesis during the day.
Pineapples and cactus.
Pineapples and cactus.
The prickly pear cactus is a CAM plant, not a C3 or C4 plant. CAM plants use a different carbon fixation pathway called Crassulacean Acid Metabolism that helps them conserve water by opening their stomata at night.
Yes!
A CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) plant is a type of plant that photosynthesizes at night to minimize water loss in arid conditions. Examples of CAM plants include certain succulents and cacti, but not crabgrass, peas, corn, or pineapples. Pineapple is a well-known CAM plant, utilizing this adaptation to thrive in dry environments, while crabgrass, peas, and corn primarily use C3 or C4 photosynthesis.
