CAM Plant

CAM Plant- plant that utilizes (cam) as an adaptation for arid conditions. CO2 entering the stomata during the night is converted into organic acids which release CO2 for the calvin cycle during the day when the stomata is closed. The cactus is able to conserve water for itself. The specimen is a cactus which our neighbor grows.
