By closing the stomata of the plant during times when water is in short supply, there will be decreased transpiration. Transpiration is the movement of water through the plant as well as it's evaporation rate.

Which do guard cells control?

Guard cells control the opening and closing of stomata, tiny pores on the surface of leaves that regulate gas exchange (such as oxygen and carbon dioxide) and water loss in plants. When the guard cells take in water, they swell and the stomata open; when they lose water, they shrink and the stomata close.


Where does water plants have stomata?

to prevent excessive water loss by transpiration


How does the stomata density affect the water loss?

Stomata density directly affects the rate of transpiration (water loss) in plants. Higher stomata density means more openings for water vapor to escape, leading to increased water loss. Conversely, lower stomata density reduces the rate of transpiration and helps plants conserve water.


Is the loss of water from plants?

Plants lose most of their water by transpiration through the stomata of the leaves.


What plants close stoma to control transpiration?

Plants can close their stomata to reduce water loss during times of stress using mechanisms like the accumulation of ions that cause osmotic changes, as well as the production of abscisic acid which signals stomatal closure. Additionally, certain plants, like succulents and CAM plants, have specialized adaptations that allow them to limit water loss by keeping their stomata closed during the day and opening them at night.


What is the importance of guard cells?

If by guard cells you mean the ones located in plants, they open and close the stomata to control water loss :)


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.


What are the cells that surround the stomata called?

Guard Cells surround the stomata, and enable it to open or shut.


To control water loss the size of the stomata is reduced by the?

Does the stomata close during drought?

Yes, during a drought, plants close their stomata to conserve water and prevent excessive water loss through transpiration. This helps the plant maintain its hydration levels and survive the dry conditions.


Why don't plants keep their stomata open all time?

Plants don't keep their Stomata open all the time to prevent too much water loss.


Where does gas exchange and water loss occur in plants?

By opening and closing the stomata on the underside of the leaves.
