How does the cell wall of a guard cell and the chloroplasts help the stomata carry out its function?

The cell wall of a guard cell provides structural support and aids in regulating the opening and closing of the stomata. The chloroplasts in the guard cells enable photosynthesis to occur, producing the energy needed for the regulation of water and gas exchange through the stomata. Together, these components help the stomata function by controlling the uptake of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and the release of oxygen and water vapor.


What cell is used to open and close the stoma?

The Guard cells


What enables guard cells to close and open?

I think it is Cell membrane


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.


How do guard cells work?

Guard cells work to open the stomata of plant leaves, which fosters the exchange of gas and lets out transpired air (evaporated from the apoplast of the leaf). They do this in response to sunlight hitting the leaves, by pumping K+ (Potassium) ions in to create a more negative solute potential inside the guard cell; water follows the K+ ions in to equalize the water potential. With the extra water, the guard cell turgidity increases and the 'puffed up' guard cells cause the stomata to open.


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 is the function of a vacuole in a Guard Cell?

Vacuoles in guard cells help regulate the movement of water and ions in and out of the cell, which in turn affects the opening and closing of the stomata. The vacuole can change its volume to control the turgidity of the guard cell, leading to the opening and closing of the stomatal pore for gas exchange.

Which structure is a gatekeeper controlling what goes in and out of the cell?

That would be the "guard cells". The stoma is an opening on the underside of many leaves and each stoma is bordered by a pair of guard cells that open and close the pore to allow for "transpiration" (the passage of water in either gaseous or liquid form into or out of the leaf). In hot, dry weather, the guard cells close to prevent water loss. In humid weather, the guard cells allow the pore to open and water can enter.

The TODAY function returns the current date when the function is executed. That would be when you open the document or when you insert the function for the first time in a cell.
