Photosynthesis as an energy transfer process — practice question

Stomata play a role in both transpiration and photosynthesis in plants. Fig. 9.1 shows an open stoma, its guard cells and the epidermal cells around it.
(a)[2]

Complete Table 9.1 by selecting the correct letter from Fig. 9.1 to match each feature listed in Table 9.1: - location of Calvin cycle - made mainly of cellulose Each letter may be used once, more than once or not at all.

(b)[4]

The opening and closing of stomata result from changes in environmental conditions. Hydrogen ions ($\text{H}^+$) and potassium ions ($\text{K}^+$) are involved in stomatal opening. Describe how hydrogen ions and potassium ions are involved in the opening of a stoma.
