Assertion : CAM plants lack structural c...

Assertion : CAM plants lack structural compartmentation of leaf, as found in `C_(4)` plant
Reason : Stomata of CAM plants are open during the day.

A

If both the asserition and the reasion are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion

B

If both the assertion and reasoni s not a correct ecplanation of the assertio

C

If the assertion is true but the reason is false

D

If both the asseertion and reason are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
CAM plants do not exhibit the structural compartmentation (`C_(3)` and `C_(4)` cycles taking place in different cells) of conventional `C_(4)` plants. CAM plants fix `CO_(2)` at night because their stomata are open at night and closed during the day.
