19. Cam Plant

This is a picture of a pineapple. It is classified as a Cam Plant because it's stomata stay closed during the day and only open at night to allow CO2 to enter. The CO2 is turned into a four-carbon acid and released during the day for use in the Calvin cycle. This cycle helps to retain water loss during the hottest parts of the day.
