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.

Which relationship is being shown in the graph
goblinko [34]

The correct answer is prey predator relationship.

The given graph possibly shows the prey predator relationship, in which the prey is shown in red and the predator is shown in blue. It is observed that the predator population generally remain less than the prey, in order to get food easily.

The prey predator relationship shows that if the population of the prey start increasing, then the population of the predator would also increase, as the predators have abundant of food. But when the population of the prey start decreasing, the predators start to decline due to the starvation.
