Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ opens and closes the stomata.
A
Guard cells
B
Xylem
C
Roots
D
Phloem
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Upon the incoming of water inside the guard cells, they swell up to become like a curved banana surface, due to which the stomatal pore opens up. When the guard cells lose water, they become flaccid and straight and thus, close the stomatal aperture. Guard cells and stomata regulates the respiration process in plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: The opening and closing of the stomatal pore depend upon water in guard cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stomata are pores on the leaf surface, which are formed by a pair of curved, tubular guard cells; an increase in turgor pressure deforms the guard cells, resulting in the opening of the stomata.
