many factors influence the opening ang closing of the stomata one of this is during drought, stomata closes because of the high concentration of ABA that influence the conservation of water in the plant
this is influenced by the concentration of K+, Cl- and H+ in the guard cell that enhances the water to be absorbed or released which affects the closing and opening, respectively.
this may not be exactly right but this is how i remember it. you may reseach further about this.
stomata
generally xerophytic plants have sunken stomata
Plants that fix CO2 into organic acids at night when the stomata are open and carry out the Calvin cycle during the day when the stomata are closed are called CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) plants. CAM plants have adapted their carbon fixation process to avoid water loss during the day by keeping stomata closed, and perform photosynthesis during the night when conditions are cooler and less water loss occurs.
In most green plants the stomata are only open during the day. They allow carbon dioxide to reach the cells where the majority of photosynthesis takes place. As they also allow transpiration (water loss) the stomata of most plants close during the night when photosynthesis is not possible. There is a group of mainly desert plants known as CAM plants. These carry out a process called Crassulacean acid metabolism, which effectively allows them to store carbon dioxide in their leaves. In these plants the stomata are normally closed during the day to prevent water loss when temperatures are high, and open during the night when temperatures are lower.
Guard Cells surround the stomata, and enable it to open or shut.
No, plants require open stomata to take in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. Without the exchange of gases through the stomata, the plant cannot produce food efficiently.
Plants don't keep their Stomata open all the time to prevent too much water loss.
stomata
Plants do not keep their stomata open all the time because it would lead to excessive water loss through transpiration. Stomata need to close to prevent dehydration and maintain proper water balance within the plant. Additionally, closing stomata helps plants conserve energy and regulate gas exchange more efficiently.
At night, the leaves of C3 plants close their stomata and wait until the sunlight. For CAM plants, this is when the plants open their stomata and allow the carbon dioxide to come in.
C o2
Open stomata allow for the exchange of gases, such as carbon dioxide and oxygen, between the plant and the environment. Closed stomata restrict this exchange, helping to regulate the amount of water loss and gas exchange in plants.

Plants open their pores, or stomata, to allow for gas exchange. This process helps in photosynthesis by allowing carbon dioxide to enter the plant and oxygen to exit. Additionally, stomata opening allows for the release of excess water vapor during transpiration.
