The intermediate formed from carbon dioxide in xerophytes is sugar which is required for optimum growth of plant. This acts as antioxidant in nature.
EXPLANATION:
Xerophyte are species which adapts to low water region. They require only less water to survive and grow. Example include cactus, aloe Vera, pineapple and some gymnosperm plants. These plant consumes the carbon dioxide from surrounding environment in night and prepare.
The sugar sucrose, raffinose and galactinol protects the cell from damage caused by reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress during desiccation.
