How does the cell wall of a guard cell and the chloroplasts help the stomata carry out its function?
cell wall helps by the controlling of the guard cells, it maintains whether its closed or open. Chloropast help photosynthesise
How is the opening and closing of stomata controlled?
The guard cells controll the opening and closing of the statoma!
What cell is used to open and close the stoma?
The Guard cells
What will happen to guard cell and stomatal pore when water flows?
The guard cell swell when water flows into them,causing stomatal pore to open.
What is the function of a vacuole in a Guard Cell?
to store water. ya it is the truth.
How guard cell open and close?
guard cells open when water flows into them because they swell and they close when it shrinks aswater flows out of the stomata
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 enables guard cells to close and open?
I think it is Cell membrane
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.
Are guard cells in a animal cell?
Yes Guard cell do contain Chloroplasts, so they can manufacture sugar by photosynthesis. In fact, they are the only epidermal cells that have chloroplasts that can do this. Usually, we think of photosynthesis as by Mesophyll cells. There is some theory that the manufacturing of sugar can work in conjunction with K+ to regulate water potential. Side note, it is well known that it is ions movements in the guard cells can cause water to flow in or out, which open and close the stomata respectively.
Is a guard cell a tissue a organ or a cell?
guard cell is a modified mesophyll cell
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.
