← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when tropical trees utilize CAM pathways?
A)Reduced photorespiration in high light✓
B)Increased water loss from open stomata
C)Enhanced nutrient absorption in xylem
D)Accelerated carbon fixation during daytime
💡 Explanation
Tropical trees using CAM pathways experience reduced photorespiration because temporal separation of carbon fixation through PEP carboxylase minimizes oxygen's interaction with Rubisco, thereby mitigating wasteful reactions rather than increasing water loss active fixation at suboptimal hours.
