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.

In case of a Natural Disaster, taking the desition about who must receive the benefits of a donation is: a. A Dilemma of Justice
4vir4ik [10]

In case of a Natural Disaster, taking the decision about who must receive the benefits of a donation is "a locus of authority".

<u>Option:</u> D

<u>Explanation:</u>

A locus of authority arises when questions are raised about who is accountable or under which jurisdiction anything falls. In the scenario of some health, law or environmental (natural disaster) emergency the central or state governments are responsible for releasing funds to rescue the region by providing basic needs like food, medical aids, etc.

This phase is very important for the head of nation because allocating fund is easy but in right hands is trick, so the authority to whom fund is handover for further processing via right channel and to targeted audience is uttermost priority, also in time.
