Question

Why do plants need guard cells?

Open in App
Solution

Dear student,
The plants need guard cells because it is through the activity of the guard cells that the stomatal pore open or closes so that the plants can take in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and release the oxygen formed during the process. It is through the activity of the guard cells that the plants take oxygen for respiration.
