Question
A plant in which carbon fixation occurs at night and the Calvin cycle occurs during the day.
Group of answer choices
- C4 plant
- CAM plant
- C3 plant
Solution
The plant in which carbon fixation occurs at night and the Calvin cycle occurs during the day is a CAM plant.
Here's the step by step explanation:
-
CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) plants are a type of plant that have adapted to arid conditions.
-
During the night, these plants open their stomata to allow CO2 to enter and get stored as a four-carbon acid. This process is known as carbon fixation.
-
During the day, when the stomata are closed to prevent water loss, the stored CO2 is released and used in the Calvin cycle to produce sugars.
So, the correct answer is CAM plant.
