what effect does salt have on the stomatal opening of a leaf epidermal peel

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ Salt can affect the stomatal opening of a leaf epidermal peel by causing the stomata to close. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Osmotic stress: When salt is present, it creates an osmotic gradient that causes water to move out of the guard cells. This loss of water leads to a decrease in turgor pressure within the guard cells. ‖‖ b ⋮ Turgor pressure: The reduction in turgor pressure causes the guard cells to become flaccid, leading to the closure of the stomata. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Osmotic stress and turgor pressure in guard cells ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ Salt induces osmotic stress, causing water to exit the guard cells, reducing turgor pressure, and resulting in stomatal closure. ⚹◊How does sodium ions affect the osmotic balance within guard cells leading to stomatal opening in response to salt exposure⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
