Figure 7.15 The biochemistry of crassulacean acid metabolism. The curves above show carbon dioxide
uptake and acidity of the cell sap over 24 hours. Below, left: the stomata are open at night to allow carbon
dioxide entry, then this is then fixed into malic acid. Below, right: the stomata are closed to conserve water in
the day and stored carbon dioxide is released to be assimilated via the Calvin Cycle. From Hopkins, 1999.
