It moves by diffusion through small holes in the underside of the leaf called stomata. Guard cells control the size of the stomata so that the leaf does not lose too much water in hot, windy or ...

THE leaves of plants which are found growing in dry situations often show certain structural characteristics in common—thick-walled tissues, thick cuticles, stomata sunken below the surface ...

An international research team led by researchers at VIB-UGent has unraveled how the opening and closing of stomata - tiny pores on leaves – is regulated in response to high temperatures and ...

their numbers, density and distribution on upper and lower surfaces numbers that are open and closed at any time adaptations of ... are two methods with which stomata can be counted.

correlation and causation: Many students do not understand the fundamental difference between correlation and causation. In this lab, stomata density variation likely results from interacting ...
