Stomata

• Structure

  .

  
• What happens to the stomata in the daytime

  They open, because the guard cells become turgid (full of water)

  This is bc more photosynthesis happens in the day so needs more CD

  Results in the release of more water and oxygen
• What happens to the stomata in the night time

  Guard cells become flaccid (less water)

  This means the stomata close as less photosynthesis occurs

  Prevents the loss of excess water
