Since CAM is an adaptation to arid conditions, plants using CAM often display other xerophytic characters, such as thick, reduced leaves with a low surface-area-to-volume ratio; thick cuticle; and stomata sunken into pits. Some shed their leaves during the dry season; others (the succulents) store water in vacuoles.uring the day the stomata are closed (thus preventing water loss), and the carbon is released to the Calvin cycle so that photosynthesis may take place.

To over simplify â usually these sizes will suffice: 1  6 chair dining room tables need an 8x10. 2  8 chair dining room tables need a 9x12. 3  10 chair dining room tables need a 10x14.  Most breakfast nook tables have a 7 to 8 foot round or octagon rug.
Selecting a rug for the living room usually comes down to three choices: 5x8, 8x10, or 9x12. Some size guides recommend that either all the furniture rests on the rug, or all the furniture, except for the coffee table, is placed completely off the rug. This will look fine, but one excep- tion is the placement of the sofa. In our opinion, the front legs of a sofa can rest on the rug while the rest of the sofa is off the rug A 5x8 rug will typically be placed under the coffee table, with the rest of the furniture placed off the rug. 8 x 10 An 8x10 rug allows for the furniture to be placed on top of the rug. or com- pletely off of the rug. It depends on the other furniture and dimensions of the living room.
