Succulents are known to keep their stomata closed during the day to check transpiration. How do they meet their photosynthetic CO2 requirements?


Succulent seedlings are known to keep their stomata closed for transpiration during the day. This prevents carbon dioxide from entering throughout the day. These plants have designed a special approach for ensuring the daily supply of carbon dioxide. These plants fix carbon dioxide at night in the form of malic acid.
