pineapple

B

maize

C

sunflower

D

sugarcane

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
CAM plants fixes `CO_2` at ngiht and forms malate , which is stored in large vacuole of mesophyll cells till next day. These plants use PEP carboxylase . The malate - releases `CO_2` in day for use in Calvin cycle in same cell , e.g. Euphorbiaceae, Asclepiadaceae, Bromaliaceae (pineapple) , etc.
