thanx! also, theres another question.
1. what would happen to a green plant if its stomata were clogged? (would it die...?)

1. Guard cells open and close the stomata. They do this mainly at night, so as the plant does not lose water.
2. The plant would die because it could not realease oxygen and suck in carbon dioxide

Google the phrase "guard cells" or "plant guard cells" and research them. You will learn a lot more by researching this yourself.

the guard cell regulates the stomatic opening in response to environmental changes and the needs of the plant.
