Solution
The stomata are partially closed during warm, dry summers to limit water loss in CAM photosynthesis.
Here's a step-by-step explanation:
-
Stomata are small openings on the surface of leaves that allow for gas exchange, including the intake of carbon dioxide (CO2) for photosynthesis and the release of oxygen (O2).
-
In most plants, the stomata are open during the day and closed at night. However, in hot and dry conditions, plants may lose too much water through their stomata in a process called transpiration.
-
To prevent excessive water loss, some plants have evolved different photosynthetic pathways. One of these is Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM
