Q. The stomata in CAM plants open during

A) Day
B) Night
C) Day and night
D) Always closed
Explanation

Stomata of CAM plants are closed during most of the day time and open during night (i.e., scotoactive) because these plants survive in dry and hot environmental conditions. These plants have the capacity to store $CO_{2}$during night and this $CO_{2}$ is used in photosynthesis during day time when stomata are closed.
