How do guard cells in stomata work?

In: Science [Edit categories]

Answer:

Stomata ~~are surrounded by a pair of guard cells. The guard cells open and close it, when the stomata close the plant stops photosynthesis due to carbon dioxide (CO~~₂) not being able to enter the plant. Stomata are found on the underside of the leaf -lower epidermis-! Stomata often close when the weather is very hot and dry to stop too much water loss and prevent excess transpiration!

(sunlight & chlorophyll)
~~photosynthesis~~ - Water + carbon dioxide ============== glucose + oxygen
6H₂0 + 6CO₂ === C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

You guys are so lucky I know all this, I wish someone knew when I needed the answer -.- and your welcome =D <3
