CAM is short for crassulacean acid metabolism, which are plants that go through a type of photosynthesis in which CO2 is taken up and stored during the night to allow the stomata to remain closed durning the day. This allows the plant to decreases the amount of water loss. This is a picture of a pineapple found at the store with “Stanley” the little paper man, with many CAM Pineapples.
