Leaves are the most significant photosynthetic tissue for the majority plants and play a crucial role in response to biotic and abiotic disturbances. Leaf shape is seen as one of the most variable and distinct plant traits‚ and variation of leaf morphology can exist among species‚ populations and individuals‚ and within individuals. Because leaves are critical to plant growth and survival‚ it is assumed that the variation in leaf shape represents an adaptive consequence caused by natural selection

Wet Tissue Strength Tested on Various Tissue Brands Abstract: Wet tissue strength was tested on various tissue brands. The wet strength was shown by seeing how many marbles the wet tissue can hold. Students conducted this experiment to determine if higher priced tissues can hold an increased amount of marbles. This experiment was a blind study‚ with the supervisor of this investigation withholding information of which brand is which and their costs. At the end of this experiment‚ it was concluded
