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.
chloroplast in the guard cells photosynthesise. light energy converted to chemical energy to pump potassium (k) into the epidermal cells around this lowers water potential of the guard cells. water from the epidermal cells enters the guard cells by osmosis. guard cells become turgid and have thicker cellulose walls which pull the stoma open
Guard cells are found in the skin of leaves and stems. These cells maintain balance by bending, shrinking, and stretching as necessary for the water to flow through.
Guard cells regulate the opening and closing of the stomata.
They control the amount of water entering and leaving the leaf by altering their shape in response.
it expands by taking up water creating an opening
By increasing and decreasing osmotic potential of cell sap of gaurd cells the opening and closing of stomata take place.
whoever answered is wrong
Stomatal pores in plants regulate the amount of water and solutes within them by opening and closing their guard cells using osmotic pressure. Guard cells and adjacent subsidiary cells are involved in opening and closing of stomata.
close and regulate water loss
The cells that regulate how much air and water pass through the stomata are called guard cells.
---- Stomata are microscopic pores found on the under side of leaves. You will find the stomata in the epidermal tissue. The stomata is bounded by two half moon shaped guard cells that function to vary the width of the pore. Each guard cell contains chloroplasts. The glucose concentration of the the cells changes with the photosynthetic activity and therefore it is the guard cells that regulate the opening and closing of 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.
The guard cells regulate the exchange of gases between the leaf and air through the use of openings called stomatal pores.

It is because guard cells control movements of CO2 , H2O and O2 just like guard on a gate.they open and close at specific times to regulate movements .
close and regulate water loss
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.
StomataThe holes in leaves surrounded by guard cells are called stomata. These stomata help regulate the water that goes into and out of the plant.
Water loss and gas exchange
The stoma opens and closes to allow gas exchange. The Guard cells are located around the stoma and regulate the opening and closing of the stoma.
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.

Yes, chloroplasts are present in guard cells. Guard cells are specialized cells found in the epidermis of plant leaves and stems that regulate the opening and closing of stomata. Chloroplasts, which contain the green pigment chlorophyll, are responsible for photosynthesis and are necessary for the energy production needed for the opening and closing of stomata.
The guard cells provide the plant with the control mechanisms. The guard cells control the opening and closing of the stomata in plant tissue. Without guard cells, the plants would not be able to control its water intake.
