The stomata open if the CO2 concentration inside the leaf is low,
Changes in the osmotic potential of gaurd cells make that stomata open or closed
Stomata open and close in response to environmental cues such as light intensity, carbon dioxide levels, and water availability. During photosynthesis, stomata open to allow for gas exchange, and they close to conserve water during times of drought or darkness. Hormones like abscisic acid and cytokinins also play a role in regulating stomatal movement.
stomata
Guard cells open and close stomata through the regulation of turgor pressure. When they take in water, they swell and become turgid, causing the stomata to open. Conversely, when they lose water, they become flaccid, leading to stomatal closure. This process is controlled by factors such as light, CO2 levels, and plant hormones.
The ability to open and close stomata helps regulate the exchange of gases like carbon dioxide and oxygen, allowing the plant to photosynthesize efficiently. In hot weather, closing stomata reduces water loss through transpiration, conserving water. In cold weather, closing stomata can prevent freezing injury by reducing water loss and maintaining internal temperatures.
The guard cells open and close the stomata as needed.

Stomata open in response to environmental factors such as light intensity, CO2 levels, and humidity. Light triggers the production of a hormone called abscisic acid, causing the guard cells around the stomata to swell and open. Conversely, in darkness or when environmental conditions are unfavorable, the stomata close to prevent water loss through transpiration.

Stomata open and close in response to changes in turgor pressure within the guard cells. When guard cells take up water, they become turgid and the stomata open to allow gas exchange. Conversely, when guard cells lose water, they become flaccid and the stomata close to prevent water loss.
When light hits the stomata it activates photosynthetic K+ pumps. These cells pump potassium ions into the guards cell around the stomata. Water is attracted to the potassium ions and thus enters the guards cells. This causes the guard cells to swell, but the rigidity of the one side causes that side to bow inwards, this creates an opening for gases to exchange in the leaf. This opening is the stomata. When water is not present, the stomata will not open.
Shortage of water causes the stomata to close.
