When plants are stressed by dry conditions, they secrete the hormone abscisic acid (ABA) and in response the stomata close, even
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

C. K+ ions flow out the the guard cells and water flows out the cells.

Explanation:

The turgidity of the guard cells allows the opening and closing of the stomata. This is especially necessary when it comes to water conservation in plants. In order for the cells to become turgid or flaccid, there must be the influx and out ward movement of water via osmosis.

In order for this the occur the osmotic pressure of the cellular environment must change and this is done by changing the solute concentration.

The pumping in of K+ ions out the cell allows the solute concentration to decrease and this in turn encourages the movement of water across a concentration gradient through a semi-permiable membrane.

The water leaves the guard cells and they become flaccid. This causes the stomata to be covered.

Explanation:

Fish specimens are identified in the field by ichthyologists. Ichthyology is the field of study that deals with fishes. Taxonomy (classification and the description of new species) and biogeography are the two main areas of focus for museum ichthyologists (patterns of distribution).

Ichthyology is the field of study that deals with fishes. Taxonomy (classification and the description of new species) and biogeography are the two main areas of focus for museum ichthyologists (patterns of distribution). Large reference collections of preserved specimens are kept in museums as a permanent resource for present-day researchers as well as for future ones.
