Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When water is abundant, plant cells will become turgid (swell) which causes the guard cells on the stomata to also swell and open. This allows for gas exchange and respiration to occur in the plant. Conversely, when water is scarce, plant cells will lose water and become flaccid (collapse) causing the guard cells to also collapse and close the stomata to conserve water.
