What is the importance of guard cells ?

Biology
1 answer:
WITCHER [35]2 years ago
5 0

The guard cell is responsible for controlling the size of the stomata in leaves. These do so as a result of an interaction between potassium ions and water in and around the cells. When potassium ions accumulate inside the guard cells the water potential inside these cells is lower than that of the outside and as a result, water has to be taken in. This makes the guard cells turgid which in turn stretches them and results in the opening of the stomata. Meanwhile, when potassium ions accumulate outside the cell, the opposite scenario results. Water from inside the cell moves out, making the guard cells flaccid, thus causing these to cover (and effectively close) the stomata.

Although macroscopic observations of microbial growth can provide much valuable information, microbiologists often follow such o
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Explanation:

As a microbiologist there are different methods are devised for characterization of microbes.such as Macroscopic analysis and microscopy method.

With the help of microscope the needed information about the individual cell such as individual cellular characteristics can be obtained, the magnification help to provide the features such as size, shape and motility of the microbes which helps to know the specific microbes characters.

When handling an unknown environmental microbe, with help of the cell characteristics of the microbes obtained using the microscope, the identity as well as metabolic characterization can be known such as the type of environment the microbes can survive in(aerobic or anaerobic), the source of food.

No growth was observed on the control plate.

The growth on the control plate indicates that the aseptic technique devised in the model was an adequate method for the prevention of the control plate from been contaminated.

The sporophyte of an unknown plant species grows as a separate plant than the gametophyte. The plant produces both female and fl
N76 [4]

Answer:

The correct answer would be "The plant is a fern, and sporophyte is its dominant phase".

Ferns refer to the lower plants which do not bear flowers, have leafy or feathery fronds, and they reproduce by spores.

They show alternation of generation in which sporophyte is the dominant stage.

The mature diploid sporophyte releases haploid spores with the help of meiotic divisions.

The haploid spore divides by mitotic division and matures into a haploid gametophyte. The single gametophyte bears antheridium and archegonium which release flagellated male gametes and egg (female gamete) respectively with the help of mitotic division.

The gametes fertilize to produce a diploid zygote.

The zygote divides mitotically and matures into the diploid sporophyte.
