Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

B) Succulents open their stomata at night to minimize water loss, a key adaptation in arid environments. This process allows them to take in carbon dioxide when the air is cooler and more humid, reducing evaporation.C) Succulents use a special photosynthetic process called Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM), where they store carbon dioxide at night as malate. During the day, they convert this stored CO2 into glucose, allowing them to keep their stomata closed during the hotter, drier periods and reduce water loss.
