The stomata are closed when exposed to saline solution or salt water.
If a plant is exposed to the salty water it will become dehydrated and eventually die. Uness the plant is a type of mangrove or is salinity tolerant plant.

∙ 13y agoThere are potassium ions that are present in the guard cells of stomata openings. If you soak a leaf in water, the stomata will open due to the water flowing inside the stomata and into the guard cells due to the potassium ions in the guard cells (this is caused by the properties of osmosis).
If you soak a leaf in salt water, the stomata guard cells will close. This is because the present potassium in the guard cells is not as concentrated as the salt water, therefore due to osmosis, water will try to flow out of the leaf through the stomata. This will cause the water pressure in the guard cells to drop, and directly causing the stomata openings to close.

Normal saline is 0.9 percent what would happen to the red blood cells of a patient who was teated with 0 percent saline what about 10 percent saline?
Normal Saline 0.9% is called an isotonic solution. A 0.0% saline solution is called a hypotonic solution. A solution of this concentration would cause water to diffuse into the red blood cells and cause them to burst open. A 10% saline solution is called a hypertonic solution. A solution of this concentration would cause water to diffuse out of the red blood cells, making them shrivel up and shrink.
Why is saline used in microbiology?
Saline is sterilized and used to suspend and wash bacterial cells. Saline is used as distilled water would cause the cells to lyse due to osmosis. The saline solution is a solution of salt and water, it contains no source of energy.
What happens when the stomata opens?

What happens to a fresh water organism in 20 percent of saline solution?
it dies since it enters a hypotonic solution thus making it shrink
Why doe cucumbers shrink in highly saline solution?
Cucumber shrink in saline solution, because the saline solution draws out the water from the cucumber causing it to shrink. -Jaralzila
Why is ti advisable to use normal saline solution rather than water?
Not sure what you are using saline solution for but i would say that saline solution is steril and water is not.
Is normal saline is hypertonic solution?
Yes this saline is a hypertonic solution but 3% saline is also not normal. There is nothing "normal" about it. There is only one "normal saline" and that is 0.9%.
