Which process directly causes guard cell swelling?

Pick B: Endosmosis of water. Thinking through STOMATA MOVEMENT step by step rules out the lookalikes and leaves Endosmosis of water. Skip these: A) Active ion pumping; C) Diffusion of gases; D) Photosynthesis. For hormones and genes, match the molecule or gene to its real role, not a neighboring pathway.

Stomatal movement is absent in:

Pick C: Algae. Thinking through STOMATA MOVEMENT step by step rules out the lookalikes and leaves Algae. Skip these: A) Angiosperms; B) Gymnosperms; D) Pteridophytes. For hormones and genes, match the molecule or gene to its real role, not a neighboring pathway.

Primary driving force for stomatal movement is:

B fits best: Turgor pressure of guard cells. Keep the STOMATA MOVEMENT basics straight and Turgor pressure of guard cells stands out as the precise answer. Avoid: A) Osmotic pressure of epidermal cells; C) Capillary action; D) Diffusion pressure deficit. Light and flowering items often hinge on which photoreceptor or day-length rule is in play.
