Guard cells become swollen and turgid when water enters them through osmosis, usually in response to favorable environmental conditions like high humidity or sufficient soil moisture. This swelling causes the stomata to open, facilitating gas exchange for photosynthesis. Conversely, when conditions are dry or when the plant needs to conserve water, guard cells lose water and become flaccid, causing the stomata to close. This regulation helps the plant maintain homeostasis and optimize water use.

Why does Rubella causes swollen lymph nodes?

Rubella, or German measles, causes swollen lymph nodes as part of the body's immune response to the viral infection. The virus triggers the activation of the immune system, leading to lymphadenopathy, which is the enlargement of lymph nodes. This occurs because lymph nodes are responsible for filtering pathogens and producing immune cells, causing them to swell when fighting off the virus. Swollen lymph nodes are a common symptom in many viral infections, including rubella.
