← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when ant colonies infest sensitive CAM plants?
A)Increased evaporative water loss increases
B)Accelerated C4 photosynthetic pathway occurs
C)Uncontrolled stomata conductance response manifests✓
D)Disrupted circadian starch accumulation inhibits
💡 Explanation
Uncontrolled CO₂ release from ant respiration near CAM plants causes uncontrolled stomata conductance response, because the plants can no longer effectively regulate gas exchange. Therefore stomata remain open rather than closing as required at night, reducing water retention.
