Mention the role of stomata in the maintenance of homeostasis in plants.
Important Questions on Homeostasis
Photosynthesis in green plants is directly and indirectly dependent on so many plant structures. Explain briefly the role of the following structures in this process.
Stomata:
Study the diagrams and answer the following:
What is the visible noticeable difference between the diagrams 'A' and 'B'?
Consider the following events involved in stomatal opening
1. Turgor pressure of guard cells increases
2. ions move into guard cells
3. Formation of malic acid
4. Water moves into guard cells
What is the correct sequence of these events leading to the opening of stomata?
Guard cells.
