What is the importance of guard cells ?

Biology
1 answer:
WITCHER [35]3 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.

Answer:

Sorry i don't know yes i do! Hi there! I’m happy to help you with this! 10 kilometers is equivalent to 10,000 meters. So to find the amount of yards, we have to do 10,000 * 1.094. When you do that, you get 10,940. The length of the race is 10,940 yards long. But we are looking for the how long the track is by miles, so for this, we must do 10,940/1,760. When you do that, you get 6.21590 and other numbers or 6.22 miles when rounded to the nearest hundredth. The length of the race is about 6.22 miles.

Why do intraplate earthquakes tend to be less frequent and smaller than earthquakes at plate boundaries?
Inga [223]
Earthquakes on plate boundaries happen more because the plates all move in different directions in a tectonic environment so they collide against each other which makes them more frequent. Earthquakes rarely happen in intra-plate environments but along faults in normally stable interior of the plates. If this doesn't make sense, ask me to reword it for you !
