How Does CAM Photosynthesis Impact Plant Tissue Structure?
The unique requirements of CAM photosynthesis lead to distinct histological features in plant tissues. For example, the increased need for water storage often results in succulent leaves with thickened epidermal layers. Additionally, the [chloroplasts](href) in CAM plants are often more densely packed within the mesophyll cells, optimizing the capture and utilization of light energy.
