Which mechanism limits photosynthetic efficiency when CAM plants transition from night acid accumulation to daytime?

💡 Explanation

When CAM plants switch to daytime photosynthesis, accumulated malic acid is decarboxylated, increasing CO2 concentration locally, but oxygen concentration is also high because of photosystem II activity; photorespiration increases because RuBiSCO binds to O2 rather than CO2. Therefore RuBisCO proximity results, rather than other constraints which are not limiting in the special CAM pathway adaptation.
