Answer

1. 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.

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 organelles do the guard cells contain that the surrounding epidermal cells do not?

Guard cells contain specialized organelles called chloroplasts, which are responsible for photosynthesis. These chloroplasts enable guard cells to produce sugars and other molecules needed for energy. The surrounding epidermal cells, on the other hand, do not typically contain chloroplasts as they are not directly involved in photosynthesis.


What is the chemical difference between stroma and the cytoplasm?

A "stoma" is singular, whereas "stomata" is plural. Each guard cell is surrounded by two guard cells which are specialized parenchyma cells. Imagine that the guard cells are like two longish, curved balloons tied together at each end. (Each guard cell is like one of these balloons). If the balloons are both filled with air, they curve away from each other, creating a hole in the middle (a stoma). However, if the two balloons are not filled with air, they are pressed tightly together. (Guard cells are pressed tightly together by the surrounding parenchyma cells). During the day, sunlight causes the chloroplasts within the guard cells to produce sugar. (Guard cells contain more chloroplasts than surrounding parenchyma cells). Sugar builds up within the guard cells. By osmosis, water is drawn into the guard cells from the surrounding parenchyma cells, causing the guard cells to swell and close the stomata. This prevents water loss from the leaf during the heat of the day. At night, the sugar is used up, the water within the guard cells passes out of the guard cells, and the stomata open for transpiration and gas exchange: Carbon dioxide, oxygen and water vapour pass in and out of the leaves through the stomata. (Most stomata are found on the leaves of most plants, though cactus have them on their stems - because the leaves of cactus are the needles).

What is the difference between the army national guard and the national guard or is there any?

There are actually two National Guards, but when people say the National Guard they are probably (but not necessarily) talking about the Army National Guard. The other National Guard is the Air National Guard which is to the Air Force what the Army National Guard is to the Army.
