Which outcome occurs when a CAM plant closes its stomata during daytime?

💡 Explanation

When stomata close during the day, CAM plants utilize stored malate to release CO2, facilitating carbon fixation by the Calvin cycle because Rubisco requires this CO2 source. Therefore, carbon fixation results, rather than the alternative options that depend on open stomata for direct CO2 uptake, are relevant to nighttime CO2 fixation.
