← Nature & AnimalsWhich mechanism decreases water loss during the day in a desert CAM plant?
A)Stomata close during the day✓
B)Increased root surface area occurs
C)Enhanced chlorophyll production takes place
D)Accelerated nutrient uptake develops
💡 Explanation
Stomata closing during the day facilitates crassulacean acid metabolism; because CO2 fixation occurs at night with open stomata and stored for daytime photosynthesis; therefore water loss is reduced, rather than increased uptake or surface improvements.
