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.

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

Obesity and Biology Obesity isn’t classified as an eating problem anymore. It is more than that a person’s biology plays a big roll. Cells and hormones play a big roll on how big you are and how your body regulates energy. Food equals energy and the body stores that energy in fat cells and uses the energy as needed. The metabolism breaks down that food and uses the energy generated from that food for everyday activities such as walking‚ talking‚ thinking. The faster ones metabolism is the more efficient

(EUBACTERIA) Bacteria (singular: bacterium) constitute a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. Typically a few micrometres in length‚ bacteria have a wide range of shapes‚ ranging from spheres to rods and spirals. Bacteria were among the first life forms to appear on Earth‚ and are present in most habitats on the planet‚ growing in soil‚ water‚ acidic hot springs‚ radioactive waste‚ and deep in the Earth’s crust‚ as well as in organic matter and the live bodies of plants and animals‚ providing

In his work " The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life " the American sociologist Erving Goffman researches the structure and the peculiarities of interpersonal interactions. In the chapter “Belief in the Part One Is Playing” he proposed some of these core ideas. Goffman compares the interactions one has with oneself and the external world (other actors) with the theatre. He believes that each person plays a role in the interaction with his or her counterpart (also more than one possible). One practices
