What would happen if guard cells in a plant stopped working? a. photosynthesis would occur more slowly. b. stomata would not open and close. c. diseases would quickly invade the plant. d. chloroplasts would change color.

If guard cells in a plant stop working then the stomata would not open and close.

B

Explanation

Guard cells are present in leaves of the plants.

It is located in surrounding of each stomata of the plants.

It is located in the leaves such that the stomata can be surrounded by these cells.

Its working is to open and close the stomata in regular intervals.

The regular intervals meant at morning and at night.

At morning, the stomata need to be open so that it can intake oxygen, water and release carbon-di-oxide.

The water taken is stored in the stomata in the night as the guard cells help to close the stomata at night preventing the loss of water.

But if the guard cells fail to work properly, then the stomata will remain either in open condition always or in close condition always.

This will lead to continuous water loss and change in the rate of transpiration of plants which will be harmful for it.

Thus the guard cells failure will lead to block the openings of stomata.

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
