How will the stomata look with high water pressure
dalvyx [7]
The stomata of leaves are surrounded by guard cells. The guard cells help the leaves to regulate the rate of transpiration of water from the leaves by opening and closing the stomata. When water enter the guard cells, they swell and bulge and this makes the stomata to open. So, with high water pressure, the guard cells will stimulate the stomata to open. The reverse will be the case if the water pressure is low.

How does photosynthesis help to maintain homeostasis in plant cells?
viktelen [127]

Plants maintain homeostasis by keeping their stomata open just enough to allow photosynthesis to take place but not so much that they lose an excessive amount of water.

When plant cells use the food they make, the cells respire, taking in oxygen and giving off carbon dioxide.
