Guard Cells Explain Open/Close Stomata Turgor Low Asymmetric

Front Explain how guard cells can open/close stomata.
Back Guard cells:
  • When turgor is low, asymmetric configuration of guard cell walls closes the pore 
  • When env conditions favorable, guard cells pump in solutes by active transport, increasing turgor, opening the pore
