When a potassium ion (K+) enters a guard cell, it creates a solution with a higher osmotic potential inside the cell than outside. This influx of K+ ions increases the osmotic pressure within the guard cell and leads to the uptake of water, causing the guard cell to swell and ultimately leading to stomatal opening.
