Basis of stomatal opening is
A plant cell attains turgidity due to
Turgor pressure of a plant cell increases due to

A

exosmosis

B

endosmosis

C

decreases in cell sap concentration

D

plasmolysis of fuard cells

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

The entry of water ito a cell when placed in less concentrated solution is called endosmosis. Due to increase in osmotic pressure and diffusion pressure dificit of guard cells endosmosis of water from the surrounding epidermal and mesophyll cells takes place into the fuard cells. the guard cells swell and the stomata open.
