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.

Answer: Amino acids are absorbed via a Sodium cotransporter, in a similar mechanism to the monosaccharides.

Explanation: Amino acids are absorbed via a Sodium cotransporter, in a similar mechanism to the monosaccharides. They are then transported across the alabaster membrane via facilitated diffusion. Di and tripeptides are absorbed via separate H+ dependent cotransporters and once inside the cell are hydrolyzed to amino acids.

During strenuous exercise, anaerobic conditions can result if the cardiovascular system cannot supply oxygen fast enough to meet
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Glucose utilization would increase a lot.

Explanation:

Aerobic condition indicates the presence of large amount of oxygen in the body. Anaerobic condition means that the oxygen is limited or deficient in the body.

The muscle cells shows anaerobic condition during exercise and produces lactic acid. Since, the ATP demand is same in both the  aerobic and anaerobic conditions. This increases the demand of glucose in the body. Glucose utilization is increased to provide proper energy to the individual.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).
