Select the correct mechanism of stomatal opening and closing. a) the radial orientation of cellulose microfibrils in the cell walls of guard cells causes them to bow outward and open the stomatal pore when turgid. b) the cell walls of guard cells are thickened on the side of the stomatal opening and the thinner walls bow outward when the guard cells become turgid, to close the stomata. c) light stimulates proton pumps in the plasma membrane of the guard cells, causing them to lose k+ and become flaccid.

A) The radial orientation of cellulose microfibrils in the cell walls of guard cells causes them to bow outward and open the stomatal pore when turgid.

Explanation:

The opening of the stomata happens when the cells become turgid. This is because the radial orientation of the cellulose microfibrils in the cell walls of the guard cells causes them to curve outward and open the stomatal pore when turgid.

On the other hand, stoma closure occurs when cells become flabby and withered. all of this, through the osmotic movement that determines the need for a cell to become wilted or turgid.

Through the process of opening and closing stomata, plants are able to control the entry and exit of gases in their organisms, without the need to lose a lot of water.

The stoma are formed by the guard cells and the stole.

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
