Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The opening and closing of stomata in leaves is controlled by
A
Guard cells
B
Phloem cells
C
Zylem cells
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

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: -A pair of guard cells surrounds each stoma, and these cells control the opening and closing of the stomatal pore between them. Guard cells regulate this opening and closing in response to a wide variety of environmental signals, such as day/night rhythms, CO2 availability, and temperature.
