Here is a picture of a CAM PLANT in my grandparents backyard. A CAM plant have only one cell, and they open their stomata at night and close them during the day. The CO2 they take in at night is incorporated into 4 carbon compounds (organic acids) and is sent off to the calvin cycle during the day to make glucose. CAM plants are usually found in dry desert areas.
