Question #1
CAM plants adapt to arid conditions by:
A. Lacking chlorophyll
B. Performing only anaerobic respiration
C. Opening stomata at night and closing them during the day
D. Keeping stomata open during the day

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) plants, such as cacti and succulents, adapt to arid environments by opening their stomata at night to fix CO2 into organic acids (like malic acid) and storing them in vacuoles. During the day, the stomata close to prevent water loss, and the stored CO2 is released for the Calvin cycle.
