Stomata Memes

Plant biology textbooks never warned me about this. Those guard cells controlling the stomata (plant pores) look suspiciously... anatomical. The meme perfectly captures that moment in botany class when you realize plant cells have an uncanny resemblance to certain human anatomy. The turgid vs. flaccid comparison isn't helping matters. Somewhere a plant physiologist is quietly closing their textbook and reconsidering their career choices.
