Difference between Botany and Crassulacean acid metabolism

Botany vs. Crassulacean acid metabolism

Botany, also called plant science(s), plant biology or phytology, is the science of plant life and a branch of biology. Crassulacean acid metabolism, also known as CAM photosynthesis, is a carbon fixation pathway that evolved in some plants as an adaptation to arid conditions.
