Stomata open and close due to sunlight causing a chemical reaction; resulting in a mechanical action..
its because the cel surface membrane around the guard cells have a potassium pump and this pump doesnt work without ATP. so in the day time the cholorplast absorb the light and pruduce ATP which then makes the potassium pump start pumping and because of this the solute potential inside the cell is higher so water from the moisture in the air moves into the stoma and cause it to expand which then makes it open.

∙ 15y agoWater (H20) and Potassium Ions (P+) are pumped into the guard cells thus making the guard cells very plump and filled with water and potassium. Therefore, the guard cells bend because they are plump and open the stomata.

Stomata open and close in response to pressure within?
guard cells
What cells guard the opening and closing of the stomata?
Stomatal pores in plants regulate the amount of water and solutes within them by opening and closing their guard cells using osmotic pressure. Guard cells and adjacent subsidiary cells are involved in opening and closing of stomata.
What is the role of a stomata and guard cells?
Through the stomata carbon dioxide diffuses into the plant and oxygen and water vapor diffuse out of the plant. Guard cells control the opening and closing of the stomata. Used in arid climates to control water loss for instance.
The cells that are on each side of a stomata and open and close it like a mouth are called?
guard cells
How does stomata open?
The stomata's function is to allow gas exchange with the surrounding air, so that the plant can intake carbon dioxide and oxygen. Stomatal opening is favored when there is plentiful water and moderate temperatures. Abscissic acid, a plant hormone, acts on the guard cells to open and close stomata. Some plants are even genetically engineered with a mutated era gene, which makes them more sensitive to abscissic acid and more prone to the opening and closing of guard cells. When guard cells are full of water, they stretch away from each other and the stomata are open. When guard cells are limp, they fall on each other and the stomata are closed. Potassium ions play a role in the opening and closing of stomata by changing the concentration of ions in the guard cells. When the potassium ions are in the guard cells, water also flows in the guard cells because of osmosis and the stomata open. When the potassium ions are out of the guard cells, water also flows out of the guard cells because of osmosis and the stomata close.
What regulates the stomata?
The guard cells open and close the stomata as needed.
What structures open or close the stomata?

How guard cell open and close?
guard cells open when water flows into them because they swell and they close when it shrinks aswater flows out of the stomata

What is the importance of guard cells?
If by guard cells you mean the ones located in plants, they open and close the stomata to control water loss :)
What is the cell that makes up the stoma?
The two guard cells one either side contract to open and close stoma.
How do substances for photosynthesis enter the plant?
Pores called stomata, which open and close by guard cells.
Which structure is responsible for the opening and closing of stomata?
guard cells
