This is a picture of a pineapple. A pineapple is an example of a CAM plant. CAM, short for crassulacean acid metabolism, is a form of photosynthesis that plants in arid regions adapted to. A plant that uses CAM shuts its stomata during the day and during the night opens its stomata to take in carbon dioxide. This proves to be efficient for plants such as cacti, agave, pineapple, orchids and others that live in arid conditions.
