← Nature & AnimalsWhich plant characteristic results from restricted stomata in CAM photosynthesis?
A)Reduced photorespiration during cooler nights
B)Increased water retention daytime✓
C)Enhanced C3 photosynthesis rates
D)Decreased carbon dioxide uptake initially
💡 Explanation
The increased water retention occurs because CAM photosynthesis uses temporal separation to open stomata at night, therefore minimizing water loss during the day rather than using spatial seperation or different initial carbon-dioxide uptake mechanisms.
