The guard cells synthesize glucose through photosynthesis in the presence of light. as glucose accumulates, osmotic pressure increases and this enables them to draw water from adjacent epidermal cells by osmosis. this makes the guard cells turgid and the stomata opens. at night, there is no photosynthesis and therefore glucose levels go down leading to lowering of osmotic pressure. guard cells lose turgidity and become flaccid and therefore stomata closes. Am sure you can derive your answer from this.

Are stomata found in a leaves epidermis?
The leaf and stem epidermis is covered in stomata, or pores. The stomacomplex regulates gas and water exchange in the leaf.

What is the whole between two guard cells in a leaf called?
It's called a stoma (plural stomata) and its function is to allow carbon dioxide to enter the leaf for photosynthesis. The guard cells sre responsible for regulating the size of the stoma.
How many stomata in a banana leaf?
more than a desert plant as the humidity and temperature allows for this
What is the size difference between the stomata in a crisp lettuce leaf and the stomata in a wilted lettuce leaf?
I believe stomata size will be the same after it enters the thylakoid memberane and wikapedia sucks because anyone can edit the information that is being given ight!!, it may appear small from wilt, stomata's vary in sizes from 100 to 1000 th of a millamitre in all plant species. If the stomata is reduced in size from wilt it will still function, maybe a fraction less that unwilted Lettuce. Regards Wayne Muller Barmac Industries Pty Ltd
