Question

SHOW LAB WORK QUESTION 30F24 Guard cells are located on the surface of the underside of leaves. How does this structure of the leaf enable the function of guard cells? A. Because the guard cells are at the surface, they keep the stomata constantly open and therefore can help with the exchange of gases. B. Because the guard cells are at the surface, they are exposed to sunlight and therefore can perform photosynthesis. C. Because the guard cells are at the surface, they keep the stomata constantly closed and therefore help prevent water loss. D. Because the guard cells are at the surface, they are in constant contact with the atmosphere and therefore facilitate the exchange of gases
