There are a large number of tiny pores called stomata on the surface of leaves of plants (The singular of stomata is stoma).Each stomatal pore (or stoma) is surrounded by a pair of guard cells .The opening & closing of stomatal pores are controlled by the guard cells.

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.
What is the role of a stomata and guard cells?
Through the stomata carbon dioxide diffuses into the plant and oxygen and water vapor diffuse out of the plant. Guard cells control the opening and closing of the stomata. Used in arid climates to control water loss for instance.
What is the stomata?
---- Stomata are microscopic pores found on the under side of leaves. You will find the stomata in the epidermal tissue. The stomata is bounded by two half moon shaped guard cells that function to vary the width of the pore. Each guard cell contains chloroplasts. The glucose concentration of the the cells changes with the photosynthetic activity and therefore it is the guard cells that regulate the opening and closing of the stoma. ----
How does stomata open?
The stomata's function is to allow gas exchange with the surrounding air, so that the plant can intake carbon dioxide and oxygen. Stomatal opening is favored when there is plentiful water and moderate temperatures. Abscissic acid, a plant hormone, acts on the guard cells to open and close stomata. Some plants are even genetically engineered with a mutated era gene, which makes them more sensitive to abscissic acid and more prone to the opening and closing of guard cells. When guard cells are full of water, they stretch away from each other and the stomata are open. When guard cells are limp, they fall on each other and the stomata are closed. Potassium ions play a role in the opening and closing of stomata by changing the concentration of ions in the guard cells. When the potassium ions are in the guard cells, water also flows in the guard cells because of osmosis and the stomata open. When the potassium ions are out of the guard cells, water also flows out of the guard cells because of osmosis and the stomata close.
How is the opening and closing of stomata controlled?
The guard cells controll the opening and closing of the statoma!
How are the stomata controlled?
The stomata are controlled by two epidermal cells called guard cells. When water flows in, the guard cells swell up and closes the stomata. When the water leaves, it becomes flaccid and opens the stomata.
Which cells form the stomata?
Guard cells form the stomata.
What cells guard the opening and closing of the stomata?

What are pores surrounded by guard cells in the epidermis of a leaf?
Stomata are pores surrounded by the guard cells.
Which structure is responsible for the opening and closing of stomata?
guard cells

What is the relationship between guard cells and stomata?
Guard cells are cells on the edges of the stomata of a leaf. The stomata are very small pores that control water loss and keep the plant from drying out. When Abscisic Acid (ABA) - a stress hormone - is present, the Potassium ions (K+ ions) from the guard cells leave the guard cells for an unknown reason. This causes the stomata to close. Basically, guard cells assist stomata in opening/closing
What is the function of a guard cell in plants?
The function of the guard cells are that they help to regulate the rate of transpiration by opening and closing the stomata thus preventing excessive water loss.
What is the guard cells in a plant cell?
The function of the guard cells are that they help to regulate the rate of transpiration by opening and closing the stomata thus preventing excessive water loss.
Are guard cells part of the stomata or does stomata only refer to the pore on the lower surface of the leaf?
The stomata are the pores and the guard cells control the opening and closing of these pores.
