Specialised guard cells open and close the stomata; they swell and become rigid when they take in water, opening the stoma, and deflate when they lose water, closing it.
Specialiserade slutceller öppnar och stänger klyvöppningarna; de sväller och blir styva när de tar upp vatten, vilket öppnar klyvöppningen, och slaknar när de förlorar vatten, vilket stänger den.

| Back | Specialised Guard Cells
-Opened: When they take in water, they inflate/swell and become rigid, which opens the stoma
-Closed: When they lose water, they deflate, which closes the stoma |
