Guard cells close stomata during high temperatures, low humidity, and drought conditions to prevent excessive water loss through transpiration. When the plant is experiencing stress, the guard cells respond by shrinking and closing the stomatal pores to conserve water.
Guard cells close to prevent excess water loss by closing the stomata, which are small openings on the surface of leaves. When the stomata are closed, it reduces the amount of water vapor that can escape from the plant through transpiration. This helps the plant conserve water during dry or hot conditions.
Stomata open and close in response to changes in turgor pressure within the guard cells. When guard cells take up water, they become turgid and the stomata open to allow gas exchange. Conversely, when guard cells lose water, they become flaccid and the stomata close to prevent water loss.
That would be the "guard cells". The stoma is an opening on the underside of many leaves and each stoma is bordered by a pair of guard cells that open and close the pore to allow for "transpiration" (the passage of water in either gaseous or liquid form into or out of the leaf). In hot, dry weather, the guard cells close to prevent water loss. In humid weather, the guard cells allow the pore to open and water can enter.
The guard cells of non desert plants simply contract a bit but do not close. Desert plants close their guard cells.
stomate are opening on the underside of a leaf. They are controlled by guard cells. When guard cells are turgid they stomate open and transpiration occurs when they are flaccid they close to retain water and prevent loss of water by transpiration
No Guard cells are cells that close when there is dry weather, preventing the leaf from becoming dehydrated
Guard cells would close the stomata to prevent excess water loss through transpiration, normally when the weather is extremely hot or there is a lack of ground water. This is a regulatory mechanism to prevent dehydration.
Guard cells control the opening and closing of stomata, tiny pores on the surface of leaves that regulate gas exchange (such as oxygen and carbon dioxide) and water loss in plants. When the guard cells take in water, they swell and the stomata open; when they lose water, they shrink and the stomata close.
The guard cells are specialized cells that control the opening and closing of the stomata in plant leaves. They can change shape to regulate the exchange of gases and water vapor between the leaf and the surrounding environment.
The guard cells controll the opening and closing of the statoma!
