Original – Opening and Closing of Stoma. As K+ levels increase in the guard cells, the water potential of the guard cells drops, and water enters the guard cells.
Reason
It has a high educational value, as it also shows the parts of Guard cells. In addition, even though it is small, it can be resized without reducing the image quality since it is a SVG. It also passed under the W3C validator without any warnings nor errors.

  • Oppose - Sadly I will have to oppose this one. First, the guard cells are not labelled. Second it says "cell walls" when it's just a "cell wall". Third, the movement of the potassium ions are not clearly described (How do they get in and out of the cell? Ion channels? no arrows indicating direction?). Why is it H2O and not "water"? Why is H2O repeated so many times...? Are the ions going into the epidermal cell or the space between cells?I think the diagram increases confusion, but I would love to see an updated version of this...!

  • Oppose and suggest speedy close per Mattximus. Sure there is EV but absurd labelling and lack of demonstration details fails it. An updated version could be done with. -The Herald (Benison)the joy of the LORDmy strength 06:43, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
