If you could see the stomata on the leaves of a plant on a hot, dry day,

would they be open or closed? Why? Use the terms transpiration and
turgidity correctly in your response. Write your answer in
complete sentences.

Answer:For the answer, I put down,

If you could see the stomata on the leaves of a plant on a hot, dry day, it would be closed because when the outside weather or temperature is warm or hot, the water could and will evaporate more readily, and because of that, the plants close their stomata to prevent any excessive water loss from their leaves. The hot/warm air around the leaves of a plant is affected by the temperature of the air around it. So, if the temperature in the air is higher then regular temperature for the plant, the water from the leaves will diffuse more into the air, which can and/or is very bad to the plant.

Explanation:There you go.
