Summary Introduction
To determine:
The way in which guard cells limit water loss from a plant on a hot dry day and the harmful effects of this method.
Introduction:
Plants are non-motile living beings that are capable of producing their own food by utilizing the sunlight and carbon dioxide. They form the kingdom Plantae that includes all the plants such as trees, shrubs,
