← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when an CAM plant's carboxylase access malate rather than RuBP?
A)Inefficient carbon fixation nighttime
B)Reduced photorespiration during the day✓
C)Increased oxygen radical production
D)Accelerated translocation during daylight
💡 Explanation
The CAM pathway plants limits photorespiration, so increased access of carboxylase results in better carbon capture via spatial separation; rather than generating wasteful intermediates that happen in C3 Plants because this minimize the amount of water because of hot environment.
