Summary Introduction

To determine:

How photosynthesis is affected when the stomata close.

Introduction:

The opening and closing of stomata is dependent on influx and out flux of K+ ions. The influx of K+ ions result in increase in ionic concentration allowing the water to move inside the guard cells whereas out flux of K+ ions increases the ion concentration outside the guard cell which makes water to flow out from the guard cells making them shrink and closing the stomata.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

How the movement of water into the root affected.

Introduction:

The transpiration takes place through stomata. During transpiration, negative pressure is created into the xylem tissue which leads to the upward flow of water.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
why do stomata open due to high humidity?
Explain the role of stomata in controlling transpiration and photosynthesis; how are stomatesinvolved in maintaining leaf temperature?
Does a shoot need to include a stem? Could a plant perform photosynthesis successfully with its leaves spread over the soil surface?
