Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The CAM pathway (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) separates carbon fixation into two separate stages: CO2 fixation during the night and Calvin-Benson cycle during the day. This allows plants to conserve water by opening their stomata at night when it is cooler and more humid. The other processes listed do not involve separate night and day activities.
