CO2 acceptor in CAM plants is in :

  • mesophyll cells

  • bundle sheath

  • both

  • none of the above


A.

mesophyll cells

CAM or Crassulacean Acid Metabolism  is found in succulent plants. In these plants CO2 is accepted in night via Phosphoenol pyruvate carboxylase enzyme in mesophyll cells.

During night, stomata open and CO2 is stored in vacuole in the form of malic acid. During day, it is decarboxylated and CO2 is transfered to ribulose 1,5 biphosphate (RuBP) of the calvin cycle within the same cell.
