What cells regulate the amount of water vapor that passes through the stoma?
A stoma is simply the space between two cells called guard cells.The guard cells are specialized cells of the leaf's epidermis. The guard cells have unevenly thickened walls. When their vacuoles contain the maximum amount of water, turgor causes the cells to bend, leaving a space, the stoma, between them.When the osmotic pressure falls, the cells partially collapse, like partly-deflated balloons, closing the stoma.The variations in turgor in guard cells are brought about by varying concentrations of potassium ions in the cells.
In what way are the stomata and guard cells related?
Stomata are small openings on the surface of plant leaves that allow for gas exchange. Guard cells surround the stomata and control their opening and closing to regulate the exchange of gases and water vapor. Guard cells work together with stomata to help plants regulate their water loss and uptake.
What do guard cells regulate?
The Guard cells control the openings of the stoma in plants. When light hits the guard cells, it caused the cell to pump potassium ions into the guard cells. As potassium is pumped into the guard cell, the water potential decreases. This drop in water potential causes the water from the intercellular spaces and surrounding cells to enter the guard cell increasing the turgidity and opening the stoma. The loss of potassium, and the increase in the relative water potential closes the stoma as the guard cell as they return to a flaccid state.
What kind of cell is specially designed to carry gases through the body?
Red blood cells are specially designed to carry gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, throughout the body. They contain hemoglobin, a protein that binds to these gases and helps transport them to different tissues in the body.
What cells guard the opening and closing of the stomata?
The guard cells are specialized cells that control the opening and closing of the stomata in plant leaves. They can change shape to regulate the exchange of gases and water vapor between the leaf and the surrounding environment.
How are atmospheric gases like the gases in a greenhouse?
The glass on the greenhouse stops temperature from leaving or entering like the gases do to the earth.The atmospheric gases are called 'greenhouse gases' based on the idea that the gases 'trap' heat like the walls of a greenhouse do
What is the purpose of a p trap?
To prevent dangerous waste /sewer fumes from entering a structure

What is the cell that conrols the gases going into and leaving a leaf?
Plants have pores on the underside of the leave called stomata (or stoma in singular). By opening or closing these pores, they allow the oxygen formed inside the plant to exit, and the carbon dioxide outside to enter.
Where are guard cells found?
In pairs on the underside of leafs. They control the flow of gases into and out of the leaf. The two of them are called a stoma.
How does the structure of guard cells relate to the function of guard cells?
control the size of the openings called stoma the stoma allow gases such as carbon dioxide and oxygen to move into and out of the leaf
What is the purpose of a p trap in a shower and how does it function in preventing sewer gases from entering the bathroom?
The purpose of a p-trap in a shower is to prevent sewer gases from entering the bathroom. It functions by creating a water seal that blocks the gases from coming back up the drain. The water in the p-trap acts as a barrier, trapping the gases and preventing them from entering the bathroom.
Which cells form the stomata?
Guard cells form the stomata. They can open and close to regulate the exchange of gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, as well as control water loss in plants.
Do clouds influence temperature?
Yes, clouds and water vapor are major greenhouse gases. They trap energy entering and infrared energy leaving earth, helping heat the earth and keep it at a temperature suitable for life.
What gas moves from the heart muscles to the capillaries?
Two primary gases are found in the blood stream. Leaving the capillaries and going out into the tissue is OXYGEN which was carried by the hemoglobin in the red blood cell. Leaving the tissue and entering the capillary is CARBON DIOXIDE or "CO2" which is transported via carbonated water (aka carbonic acid) in the plasma of the blood stream.
What do guards cells control?
Guard cells, always existing in pair, regulates the opening and closing of the stoma and hence also regulates the movement of gases(oxygen, carbon dioxide and water vapour).
What is the purpose of a basement sewer trap and how does it function to prevent sewer gases from entering a building?
The purpose of a basement sewer trap is to prevent sewer gases from entering a building. It functions by creating a water seal that blocks the gases from passing through the plumbing system and into the building.
