They are the pair of cells that surround the stomata (pores on the underside of leaves)
They can change shape to open or close the stomata. Most plants open their stomata during the day (to allow co2 to enter for photosysthis) and close them at night. However cacti open their stomata during the night to reduce water loss, and have to use stored co2 for photosysthesis.

∙ 15y agoGuard cells, which control the opening and closing of the stomata (minute openings in the leaf that allow exchange of gases and exit of water vapour from the leaf) are located mostly on the underside of a leaf, with some being on the upper suface of the leaf.

∙ 12y agoGuard cells are paired cells that surround the stomata (one pair each) of plants on the epidermis of the plant's leaves. Stomata are openings in the leaf allowing the exchange of gases between the plant and its environment. These cells regulate which gases enter and which gases leave the plant, e.g. CO2 enters, O2 and water vapor are released.

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 are the names of the specialized cells that control the aperture of the hole of the stomata?
These are called the guard cells.
How is the opening and closing of stomata controlled?
The guard cells controll the opening and closing of the statoma!
Stomata open and close in response to pressure within?
guard cells
The type of cell that controls the opening and closing of stomata is called?
guard cells

guard cells
Can guard cells carry out photosynthesis?
No Guard cells are cells that close when there is dry weather, preventing the leaf from becoming dehydrated
What cells of the epidermis control sizes of stomata?
Guard cellsby- kara linwood
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
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.
What is the difference between a guard cell and other cells?
Answer1. Guard cells have chloroplast, epidermal cells do not have.2. Guard cells are much smaller than the epidermal cells.3. The cell walls of guard cells are not uniform, inner walls are thicker than the outer walls. epidermal cells are unformly thin.
