CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) plants, such as succulents and cacti, have a unique adaptation to save water. They open their stomata at night to take in carbon dioxide, convert it into a special carbon compound (malic acid), and store it in their cells. During the day, the stomata remain closed to prevent water loss, and the stored malic acid is broken down to release carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. This enables these plants to survive in arid environments with limited water availability.
