Question
Chapter 7.1, Problem 1BC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The number of guard cell that makes up a stoma.
Introduction
Plants consist of three major parts: stem, roots, and leaves. The green leaves of plants have chlorophyll pigment which allows the plant to perform photosynthesis. The leaves of plants have a waxy cuticle, which is impermeable to water and gases.

why do stomata open due to high humidity?
We say that movement is a characteristic of living organisms but we always don’t see visible movements in plants. Comment.
Plant stomata have guard cells. Guard cells will;
Always leave the stomata open
Close the stomata when conditions are moist
Close the stomata when conditions are dry
