The stomata are controlled by a pair of guard cells, which are specialized parenchyma cells. When it is humid and bright outside, a proton pump expels protons from the guard cells, causing a depolarization in the cells. This opens voltage-gated channels, and allows an uptake of Potassium ions to keep the cells open. Negative ions balance the influx of Potassium to maintain the negativity. If Chlorine ions also enter, the osmotic pressure changes, which increases the turgor pressure. The resulting turgor pressure helps keep the pore open as well.
What else can I help you with?
What's the funcion of the stoma and the guard cells in plant leaves?
Guard cells are able to control how open or closed stomata are by changing shape. The gas exchange occurs when stomata are open facilitates photosynthesis
Is stoma open or closed on a hot day?
Stoma tend to be closed on a hot day to minimize water loss through transpiration, as high temperatures can increase the rate of transpiration. This helps the plant conserve water and maintain proper hydration levels.
Where are stoma usually found?
Stomata are usually found on the surface of plant leaves, stems, and other plant organs. They are tiny, specialized pores that allow for gas exchange, including the uptake of carbon dioxide and release of oxygen during photosynthesis.
What are small opening on the undersides of leaves through which carbon dioxide enters plant?
Stoma (or plural form stomata for a number of stoma)
What close the stoma and how do they do it?
Stomata are small openings on the surface of leaves that regulate gas exchange. They close primarily through the action of guard cells, which surround each stoma. When the plant experiences water stress or high temperatures, the guard cells lose water and become flaccid, causing them to close the stoma. Conversely, when water is abundant, the guard cells take up water, swell, and open the stoma to allow gas exchange.

What plant parts do all plants have?
stoma
What is the small opening in the underside of the plant?
Stoma or stomata
Is there a plant with a colored stoma that is easy to view?
none
What part of a plant controls evaporation?
Stoma of the leaf.
Is stoma open or closed on a hot day?
Stoma tend to be closed on a hot day to minimize water loss through transpiration, as high temperatures can increase the rate of transpiration. This helps the plant conserve water and maintain proper hydration levels.

Stoma (or plural form stomata for a number of stoma)
What is the word for plant pores?
Plant pores are called stomata (pl.) or stoma or stomate (sing.).
What cell is used to open and close the stoma?
The Guard cells
What surrounds the stoma of a plant?
The stoma of a plant is surrounded by two specialized cells called guard cells that regulate its opening and closing. These guard cells control gas exchange and water loss in the plant.
