Which outcome occurs when a CAM plant converts malate back to pyruvate?

💡 Explanation

Carbon is released internally to the Calvin cycle to fix CO2. This uses rubisco's carboxylase functions; the malate is converted back, supporting daytime photosynthesis because stomata remain closed. The plant, therefore, minimizes water loss while fixing carbon, rather than losing it to open stomata.
