Their inner walls are thicker than the outer walls. When water enters the guard cells, their lengthwise expansion causes them to buckle out and the stomate opens. During photosynthesis, an ATP-driven proton pump actively transport H + out of the cell. New potassium ions enter the guard cells, which take up water by osmosis, causing the stomate to open. 25. Asexual reproduction offers a quick, effective means of reproducing plants; however, it lacks the mechanism for genetic variability available through sexual reproduction. Through the latter, more adaptive forms of the organism may be produced.
