The Stomata in Plants

The stomata plays a key role in the respiration of plants. The stomata are pores found on the epidermis of leaves. However stomata can also be found on the stem on some plants. Stomata are multiple stomas. The image below shows stomata under a microscope, and the one below that is an image of stoma found on the web.

The stoma is made up of guard cells (the sausage like shape in the image above) and is surrounded by the epidermal cell and the subsidiary cell.

These guard cells open when the stomata have taken in a lot of water (this is called the turgid state). They close when the opposite happens (this is called the flacid state).

Stomata open to for the uptake of carbon dioxide and release of oxygen. They close for the uptake of oxygen and release of carbon dioxide.

A problem that plants face is the loss of water. To prevent this as much as possible, the stomata open for a short amount of time before closing.

Callistine Academy Project - An Introduction

Education should be regarded as something precious and that it must be cherished ad shared. Thus born this blog, where everyday knowledge from whatever topic or subject will be shared.

What started this project?

It all started from when someone eager to teach couldn't find any interested soul to listen to her explanations about the respiration of plants, or how experimental research works. And that all started from... PonyTown. Yes, random, I know.

Plans?

Of course, as mentioned, knowledge will be shared everyday. No matter if it falls under English, Psychology, Biology, Physics, Maths, etc.

Online sessions. They will last for until an hour. These sessions will only happen if there are enough interested students.

For interested students, assignments will be handed out.

Hiring?

Volunteers that are willing to teach or share information to students through this blog for free can send a message if interested.

Current "Professors"?

Its just me, Orion! I will be sharing stuff about Biology, English Language and Literature, Psychology, Chemistry, and Maths.
