how do guard cells regulate the opening of the stomata?
137729
The opening and closing of stomata are controlled by the guard cells. When water flows into the guard cells, they swell up and the curved surface causes the stomata to open. When the guard cells lose water, they shrink and become flaccid and straight thus closing the stomata.

The cell wall protects the cell, provides structural support, and gives shape to the cell while the central vacuole plays a key role in regulating the cell's concentration of water in changing environmental conditions. Chloroplasts are the organelles that carry out photosynthesis.

Plant hormones as signal molecules regulate cellular processes in targeted cells locally and when moved to other locations of the plant. They also determine the formation of the root, stem, leaf, and flower and facilitate the shedding of leaves and the development and ripening of fruits.

Plant–water relations concern how plants control the hydration of their cells, including the collection of water from the soil, its transport within the plant and its loss by evaporation from the leaves.

Stomata are mouth-like cellular complexes at the epidermis that regulate gas transfer between plants and atmosphere. In leaves, they typically open during the day to favor CO2 diffusion when light is available for photosynthesis, and close at night to limit transpiration and save water.

Plant cells have certain distinguishing features, including chloroplasts, cell walls, and intracellular vacuoles. Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts; cell walls allow plants to have strong, upright structures; and vacuoles help regulate how cells handle water and storage of other molecules.

Essentially, guard cells are two bean-shaped cells that surround a stoma. As epidermal cells, they play an important role in gaseous exchange in and out of plant leaves by regulating the opening and closing of pores known as a stoma.

Turgor Pressure The vacuole fills with fluid or deflates as the surrounding membrane, called the tonoplast, pumps water in and out of its interior. This puts pressure on the walls of the cell, leading to cell elongation and providing growing plant material with the rigidity to stay upright.

Plant cells have a cell wall around the outside than stops them from bursting, so a plant cell will swell up in a hypotonic solution, but will not burst.

A rigid layer that gives protection, support, and shape to the cell. The cell wall forms protection to one cell, while the cell membrane controls the passage of materials into and out of a cell.

Guard cells are the kidney or bean shaped cells that enclose an opening which is called as stoma. Stoma is the opening whereas guard cells are surrounding the stoma.

Leaves are adapted for photosynthesis and gaseous exchange. They are adapted for photosynthesis by having a large surface area, and contain openings, called stomata to allow carbon dioxide into the leaf and oxygen out.

The main characteristic feature that differentiates a monocot and a dicot leaf is that, the guard cells of stomata are kidney-shaped in dicot leaf and dumb-bell shaped in a monocot leaf. The vascular bundle is large in dicot leaf whereas in monocot leaf, both small and large vascular bundles are present.

Most plants regulate the size of stomata with guard cells. Each stoma is surrounded by a pair of sausage-shaped guard cells. In bright light the guard cells take in water by osmosis and become plump and turgid . In low light the guard cells lose water and become flaccid , causing the stomata to close.

The cell wall is the protective, semi-permeable outer layer of a plant cell. A major function of the cell wall is to give the cell strength and structure, and to filter molecules that pass in and out of the cell.
