Stomata open at night and closes during day in

  • xerophytes

  • gametophytes

  • mesophytes

  • mesophytes

Solution

A.

xerophytes

Crassulacean acid metabolism, also known as CAMphotosynthesis, is a carbon fixation pathway that evolved in some plants as an adaptation to arid conditions. In a plant using full CAM, the stomata in the leaves remain shut during the day to reduce evapotranspiration, but open at night to collect carbon dioxide (CO2).
