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.

About 25 of the 92 natural elements are known to be essential to life. which four of these 25 elements make up approximately 96%
ikadub [295]
The correct answer would be the second option. Four of these 25 elements that make up approximately 96% of living matter are carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen. The elements carbon and hydrogen are the backbone for organic compounds which is the foundation of cells that are present in all living matter. Also, the cells in all living matter are made up of protein which are primarily made up of amino acids which contains nitrogen, oxygen, carbon and hydrogen atoms. So, basically, without these elements in the cells all living matter would not be present and there would be no life in any case.
