32
Q

What do guard cells do?

A

Guard cells open and close stomata so that gases can be exchanged for photosynthesis. They stop too much water vapour escaping.

33
Q

How do guard cells work?

A

when the plant cells have lots of water the guard cells fill with it and become plump. This makes the stomata open.

When the plant doesn’t have enough water, the guard cells lose water and become flaccid.
This makes the stomata close.

They’re also sensitive to light, so they close at night.

34
Q

Which is more accurate for measuring the PH of a solution: indicator or a PH probe?
Why?

A

A PH probe is more accurate because it gives you a specific number, whereas indicator gives you a colour to measure against the PH chart.

Q

What is the general word equation for neutralisation?

A

acid + base 🡪 Salt + water

    > disturbs habitats of marine animals
    > spoils the view
  • hazard for boats
  • high initial costs
  • unlikely to provide power on a large scale
45
Q

summarise how tidal barrages work

A

tidal barrages are big dams with turbines in them built across river estuaries. The estuary fills up as the tide comes in. Water is then allowed out through the turbines at a controlled speed.

46
Q

negatives of tidal barrages

A
  • preventing free access by boats
  • spoils the view
  • ## alters nearby habitats of the wildlife
47

48
Q

negatives of biofuels

A
