Updated On: Jun 14, 2022
- black night shade (Solanum nigrum)
- lemon grass (Cymbopagon flexuosus)
- sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris)
- snake plant (Sanseviera thifasciata)
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Crassulacean acid metabolism $(C A M)$ is a mechanism of photosynthesis which involves double fixation of $CO _{2}$-initial PEP case fixation and final RuB is CO fixation of $CO _{2}$, in the same cells but at different times, i.e., night and day. In $CAM$ plants stomata remain closed during the daytime and open only at night. Snake plant (Sanseviera trifasciata) is a $C A M$ plant

Photosynthesis in Higher Plants
Processes Of Photosynthesis in Higher Plants:
Photosynthesis in higher plants involves the following processes:
- Light Reaction
- Dark Reaction
Light Reaction:
- This phenomenon occurs in the presence of light.
- The pigment absorbs light and produces energy in the form of ATP.
- The process involves- absorption of light, water splitting, the release of oxygen, and formation of ATP and NADPH.
Dark Reaction:
This process occurs in the absence of light in the stroma of the chloroplasts. The following cycles are involved in the process:
- Calvin Cycle (C3 Cycle)
- C4 Cycle (Hatch and Slack Pathway)
