CAM Plant Metabolism Temporal Separation

The video explains CAM metabolism, a process in CAM plants that separates CO2 intake and fixation by time. CAM plants, like cacti, thrive in deserts due to their efficient water use. At night, they open stomata to intake CO2, storing it as malate. During the day, stomata close to prevent water loss, and stored malate is used for carbon fixation. This temporal separation allows CAM plants to survive in extreme conditions.
