metabolismo ácido crasuláceo

Definition:
Vía bioquímica en la que la fijación de carbono inicial ocurre en las células mesófilas externas durante la noche cuando los estomas se abren. Cuando los estomas se cierran durante el día, los ácidos C4 se transfieren desde las vacuolas a los cloroplastos, donde se verifica el ciclo de Calvin y se produce glucosa.
