Everybody knows that plants don't use CO2 at night right?

Not so fast! Thinking about Roger's calculations on CO2 use got me to
thinking. Plants don't use the CO2 directly, it has to go through
chemical precursor stages, right? That would imply that plants continue
to absorb and store CO2 in various chemical forms in preparation for the
days photosynthesis. What do you think?
