Hii there,
Not all plants have their stomata closed during the night . A notable exception are Crassulacean acid Metabolism(CAM) plants that keep their stomata closed during the DAY and open it during the NIGHT . This is a common evolutionary strategy with Xerophytes .
There are also 2 types of metabolic pathways namely C3 and C4 . As a consequence we get what is called a C3 and C4 plant, which aptly represent the predominant metabolic pathway it employs …
Additionaly plant cells , like all life , can produce energy without oxygen by Glycolysis. Furthermore, when stomata is closed , oxygen respiration is restricted , not blocked entirely . Finally it might be important to note that plant metabolism is reduced during the night ..
I hope you get it…..
please let me know if there are any glaring errors…
