Detailed explanation-1: -The opening and closing of stomata are controlled by specialized cells called guard cells. The turgor pressure in the guard cells controls the opening and closing of the guard cells. Stomatal pores open when guard cells enlarge as a result of water absorption and close when guard cells shrink.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stomata are pores in the plant epidermis that function as gateways linking the intercellular gas spaces to the external environment. Two guard cells surround each stomatal pore, and changes in turgor pressure of the guard cells regulate the size of the pore aperture.

Detailed explanation-3: -Guard cells use osmotic pressure to open and close stomata, allowing plants to regulate the amount of water and solutes within them.

Detailed explanation-4: -23.2. Guard cells are another type of plant single-cell models to study early signal transduction and stress tolerance mechanisms in plants. Guard cells are surrounded by stomatal pores and are located in leaf epidermis. Guard cells control influx and efflux of CO2 and water from leaves, respectively.
