Answer 2

The cells around the stomata are called guard cells because:

• Guard cells are involved in the opening and closing of stomata for transpiration. these cells surround the stomatal pore.
• Guard cells are kidney-shaped or crescent-shaped structures.
• When the guard cells are turgid and swollen water leaves the guard cell. this turgidity is due to the aggregation of potassium ions which are involved in fluid ion balance.
• It also facilitates gaseous exchange such as carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and prevents excessive loss of water.
• Guard cells are found in ferns, monocots and dicot plants.
