Red blood
parts of the body.
cells
Transport carbon dioxide from cells in all parts of the body to the
lungs.
Palisade cells
Guard cells
Guard cells control the opening and closing of stoma. A stoma is a small pore
between the guard cells. The stoma is usually open during the day to carry out
photosynthesis. The stoma is closed at night or when the plant loses a lot of
water on a hot day
Root hair cells increase the surface area to absorb more water and nutrient
from the soil
