Which outcome is associated with crassulacean acid metabolism pathways?

A)Minimized photorespiration in arid environments
B)Increased nitrogen fixation ability
C)Enhanced phosphorus uptake under stress
D)Greater starch production during rainy events

💡 Explanation

CAM enhances survival; because plants use temporal separation. Therefore, CO₂ fixation occurs at night using PEPCase, rather than during the day with RuBisCO; lessening water loss and increasing efficiency in hot settings rather than C3 which would lose more water.
