NEET Biology Photosynthesis in Higher Plants Question Bank Assertion and Reason

  • question_answer
    Assertion : CAM plants lack structural compartmentation of leaf, as found in\[{{C}_{4}}\]plants. Reason : Stomata of CAM plants are open during the day.

    A) If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion

    B) If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion 

    C) If the assertion is true but the reason is false

    D) If both the assertion and reason are false

    E) If the assertion is false but reason is true

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    CAM plants do not exhibit the structural compartmentation (\[{{C}_{3}}\]and \[{{C}_{4}}\]cycles taking place in different cells) of conventional C4 plants. CAM plants fix\[C{{O}_{2}}\]at night because their stomata are open at night and closed during the day.
