usually on the underside of the leaf, out of the direct sunlight. They will often close during the day and open at night, as well.

Do all plants have guard cells?

yes all plants have guard cells because if there's a plant that don't have guard cells the stomatal pores will not open neither close


What plants close stoma to control transpiration?

All plants use guard cells to control how long stomata should be opened or closed. CAM plants, for example, close their stomata during the day to prevent loss of water.


How plants open and close the stomata?

A chain of events leads to an increase in the concentration of sugar in the cell sap in the vacuole of guard cell. osmotic potential of cell sap decreases and guard cells withdraw water from the neighboring cells. this increases turgid pressure of the guard cells it swells up.the swelling of the outer wall causes the guard cells to curve away from each other so increases the gap between them stomata opens). and when guard cells lose water, they become flaccid and comes closer thus stomata closes.


What do guard cells close to prevent excess water loss?

The guard cells provide the plant with the control mechanisms. The guard cells control the opening and closing of the stomata in plant tissue. Without guard cells, the plants would not be able to control its water intake.


What is the function of guard cells in regulating transpiration and wilting?

Guard cells play a crucial role in regulating transpiration and preventing wilting in plants. They control the opening and closing of stomata, small pores on the surface of leaves. When the guard cells uptake water, they swell and the stomata open, allowing gas exchange for photosynthesis and transpiration. Conversely, when guard cells lose water, they shrink and close the stomata, preventing excessive water loss and wilting.

Is it true that guard cells of non desert plants often close during the daytime and open at night to conserve water?

The guard cells of non desert plants simply contract a bit but do not close. Desert plants close their guard cells.

What is the importance of guard cells?

If by guard cells you mean the ones located in plants, they open and close the stomata to control water loss :)


What cells guard the opening and closing of the stomata?

Stomatal pores in plants regulate the amount of water and solutes within them by opening and closing their guard cells using osmotic pressure. Guard cells and adjacent subsidiary cells are involved in opening and closing of stomata.


Stomata open and close in response to pressure within?

guard cells


What plants close stoma to control transpiration?

Can guard cells carry out photosynthesis?

No Guard cells are cells that close when there is dry weather, preventing the leaf from becoming dehydrated


How is the opening and closing of stomata controlled?

The guard cells controll the opening and closing of the statoma!

Why are Guard cells important?

Guard cells are important in plants for various reasons. They are the ones that will control the processes of gas exchange and protect the plants from excessive water loss.


What structures open or close the stomata?
