Planning Introduction Stomata are pores on the bottom of leaves of vascular plants. The function of stomata is to allow gaseous exchange (transpiration) between the plant and the external environment (see diagrams below). This process is carried out by the plant‚ which controls the opening and closing of stomata via the guard cells. The more stomata a leaf contains the greater the rate of gas exchange and the less water it will be able to accumulate. Stomatal pores are formed between

Male System The structure and function of the human male reproductive system‚ is very similar to that of many other mammals. The male system is designed to make sperm or male gametes and is adapted to provide for the delivery of these gametes to the female to allow for fertilization. Male Reproductive System Male Reproductive System Structures 1. testes -- produces sperm and the hormone testosterone 2. scrotum -- pouch enclosing the testes keeping the sperm at an optimum temperature

FlexCon is a company that prides itself on the quality of its pistons. Lately they have been relying on suppliers for major components while manufacturing simple items with relatively small differentiation. By doing this‚ too much of their talent is going to waste leaving them with a big decision of whether to keep outsourcing or to insource. They are already heavily dependent on suppliers for critical components. The cost it takes to insource is greater than the cost to outsource but deciding to

32.2.2 Segmentation allowed for redundant systems and improved locomotion Hox genes cause segmentation development 2 advantage of Hox genes Highly segmented animals‚ usually have nearly complete set of organs in theirs each segment of body. This result to less damage in their body‚ since other segment duplicate the damage segment functions Locomotion is more efficient‚ since partitions isolate the segment can contract and expand autonomously. 32.3.
