Fluxes related to energetics and metabolic accumulation predicted in the model simulations of C3, CAM cycling, CAM idling, and CAM.
| C3 | CAM | CAM cycling | CAM idling | |
| Photon demand | 199.40 | 213.39 | 209.04 | 57.484 |
| ATP production by photosynthetic light reaction | 64.09 | 68.59 | 67.19 | 18.48 |
| NADPH production by photosynthetic light reaction | 46.80 | 51.38 | 49.15 | 14.06 |
| ATP production by the mitochondrial ETC (light) | 14.49 | 37.86 | 19.66 | 11.57 |
| ATP production by the mitochondrial ETC (dark) | 7.20 | 13.20 | 8.39 | 8.27 |
| Starch accumulation | 0.86 | 8.14 | 2.35 | 1.94 |
| Malate accumulation | 0.04 | −14.13 | −2.84 | −2.92 |
Photon demand and the productions of ATP and NADPH by photosynthetic light reaction are flux values from the light period. A positive value of metabolite accumulation denotes a net accumulation in the light period; negative value of metabolite accumulation denotes a net accumulation in the dark period. All values are in the units of μmol m–2 s–1.
