Question:
Choose the incorrect statement among the following
Choose the incorrect statement among the following
Show Hint
CAM plants behave opposite to typical plants; remember that guard cells are turgid at night in these plants.
Updated On: Jun 3, 2025
- Evolution of C4 photosynthesis system is the strategy of maximizing the availability of CO2 while minimizing the water loss.
- In Succulent plants water potential gradient established due to accumulation of organic acids at night.
- During night time guard cells become flaccid in Succulent plants.
- Light is necessary for accumulation of K+ ions into the guard cells from subsidiary cells.
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Succulent plants open stomata at night and close them during the day — CAM photosynthesis.
At night, guard cells accumulate malic acid and become turgid, not flaccid.
Hence, statement 3 is incorrect.
At night, guard cells accumulate malic acid and become turgid, not flaccid.
Hence, statement 3 is incorrect.
