CAM plants function using crassulacean acid metabolism. Like C4 plants, CAM plants provide preparatory step for the Calvin cycle

. CAM plants are found in hot, dry environments; to prevent desiccation, they keep their stomata closed during the day. They take in carbon dioxide at night while stomata are open. To increase the concentration of carbon dioxide available to the enzyme rubisco and minimize the degree of photorespiration, the CAM plants carboxylate ________.

Answer: ORGANIC ACIDS  

Explanation:

CAM PLANTS CARBOXYLATE ORGANICS ACIDS through the addition of  CO2 to PEP Carboxylase(  a phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase enzyme present in the mesophyll cells of the cytoplasm in a green plant) to produce Oxaloacetate (organic compound).

CO2 + PEP  ⇒ C4H4O5 (oxaloacetate)

Oxaloacetate is then converted to a similar molecule, Malate (C4H6O5,  another form of organic compound) that can be transported in to the bundle-sheath cells. Malate enters the plasmodesmata and releases the CO2. The CO2 then fixed by rubisco and made into sugars via the Calvin cycle.

Kruka [31]
6.0m(mol/kg) of HCl
125mL H2O = 0.125kg
6mol/kg = n mol/0.125kg, n = 0.75mol
When 0.75mol of HCl reacts, 0.75/2=0.375mol of H2 is produced. H2 = 2g/mol
So, 0.375mol H2 = 0.75g

An electrochemical cell is powered by the half reactions shown below.
andrezito [222]
Reduction reactions are those reactions that reduce the oxidation number of a substance. Hence, the product side of the reaction must contain excess electrons. The opposite is true for oxidation reactions. When you want to determine the potential difference expressed in volts between the cathode and anode, the equation would be: E,reduction - E,oxidation. 

To cancel out the electrons, the e- in the reactions must be in opposite sides. To do this, you reverse the equation with the negative E0, then replacing it with the opposite sign. 

Pb(s) --> Pb2+ +2e-      E0 = +0.13 V
Ag+ + e-  ---> Ag           E0 = +0.80 V

Adding up the E0's would yield an overall electric cell potential of +0.93 V.
