Q. How is the sequence of steps in photosynthesis different in desert plants?

Dear student,                                                                                                                                                                   
Please find below the solution to the asked query 
          
  • In desert plants, the CO2 is stored in the form of an acid before use in photosynthesis.
  • Stomata open at night (when evaporation rates usually lower) and are usually closed during the day.
  • The CO2 is converted to an acid and stored during the night. During the day, the acid is broken down and the CO2 is released to RUBISCO for photosynthesis.
  • This is called CAM Photosynthesis. (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism).
