Mitochondria mediate metabolic reactions, and in any reaction energy is transformed; some is lost as heat.

Mitochondria are the organelles that prevails within some of the eukaryotic cells. The humans are endotherms that is they maintain the temperature of the body within a stable, narrow range by internal production of heat and monitored heat dissipation.

The endotherms depends in metabolism or production of energy inside the cells. Mitochondria generate the majority of human body heat as they monitor metabolism by controlling the majority of intracellular production of energy.

Answer:

(B) open stomata only at night, limiting water loss because of heat and low humidity.

Explanation:

CAM plants are found in the regions characterized by very hot and dry environmental conditions. These plants reduce the water loss through transpiration by exhibiting CAM photosynthesis.

They open the stomata during night time when the air is cooler and rich in moisture. They take in CO2 during night time and fix it into the oxaloacetate which in turn is converted into malate and is stored in the vacuoles.

During day time, stomata remain closed to prevent water loss and the CO2 trapped during night time (released by decarboxylation of malate) enter the Calvin cycle.
