In CAM plants, which mechanism limits rubisco's functionality under heat stress?

A)Photorespiration overwhelms carbon fixation
B)Stomata remain closed continuously
C)RuBP regeneration becomes inefficient
D)CAM cycle operates at max rate

💡 Explanation

Under heat stress, photorespiration increases because oxygen, rather than carbon dioxide, binds with rubisco, therefore limiting the Calvin cycle activity; rather than efficient fixation, less sugar is produced despite sufficient resources.
