Stomata open at night and close during the day in
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Succulents
Usually, the stomata open during the day time and close during the night time. But this is not so in desert plants like a cactus. They are also known as succulents. This is so because of very high temperatures and scarcity of water in deserts. During the day time the stomata remain closed to avoid the loss of water but at night when the temperatures reduce the stomata opens to carry out photosynthesis. Such behaviour of stomata is an adaptation of plants for the survival in places like deserts.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Succulents'.
