Saguaro — CAM photosynthesis around the clock (3D)

About this app

A saguaro in the Sonoran Desert over 24 hours: at night the stomata open and CO₂ is stored as malic acid in the vacuole; by day they stay shut and the Calvin cycle turns it into sugar. Cell zoom, acid curve and a water counter compared with a C3 plant.
