← Nature & AnimalsWhich risk increases when arid-environment plants transition away from CAM?
A)Decreased nocturnal predator avoidance ability
B)Faster nutrient uptake from poor soils
C)Accelerated transpiration and water loss✓
D)Enhanced carbon dioxide absorption efficiency
💡 Explanation
Accelerated transpiration increases risk, because CAM employs temporal partitioning of carbon fixation and water loss; therefore less water is conserved during the day, rather than if CAM continued water loss would be greatly reduced.
