Answer 1

Answer:

A, B, E

Explanation:

The guard cells block water loss (transpiration) when the cells are turgid. To become flaccid, the cells must lose water. This is accomplished when the surrounding cells accumulate K+ making them hypertonic compared to the guard cells. The guard cells then lose water via osmosis.
