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

What is the function of guard cells in regulating gas exchange in a leaf?
Guard cells are on the surface of plant leaves and surround each stomata (small pores all over the leaf surface). Stomata control the release of gases, including water vapor. During a drought plants occasionally look droopy but still alive, the plant looks wilted because its guard cells are preventing loss of moisture from the stoma (plural of stomata). When defining stomata, it is made of two parts: the pore (opening) itself, and the (2) guard cells around it.

What happens if you put wilted celery in distilled water?
Distilled water is a hypotonic solution. Due to diffusion, water wants to go into the cell to reach equilibrium. Whereas, a salt water solution (hypertonic) would make the water leave the cell. So, if you put "wilted celery in distilled water" then water would diffuse into the piece of celery; making it become harder.

If the lettuce is still attached to the core, trim the core to reveal a fresh stem and then place the lettuce (core down) in a bowl of water with a sprinkle of sea salt added to the water. The lettuce will absorb the sea salt through the stem an be revived in a few hours. This works wonders in hot climate that cause lettuce to wilt quickly after harvest.
