Summary

Description
English: CAM photosynthesis- left, at night; right, during the day. CO2 enters through the stomata at night and is fixed to OAA by PEPCase. The OAA is then turned into malate and stored in a vacuole as malic acid. During the day, the stomata are closed to conserve water. The malic acid goes out of the vacuole, gets turned into malate. The malate goes into the Calvin cycle in the stroma of the chloroplast. Photosynthesis then continues normally as it would in a C3 plant. 1. chloroplast, 2. vacuole, 3. cytoplasm, 4. Calvin cycle, 5. stoma, 6. oxaloacetic acid (OAA), 7. PEP carboxylase (PEPCase), 8. granum (stack of thylakoids), 9. stroma of chloroplast, 10. malate, 11.malic acid
