SIMPLE LEAF PALMATELY COMPOUND PINNATELY COMPOUND

IV. Stomata and Guard Cells: Neatly sketch and label stomata and its guard cells in a

leaf. Use page 596-pick one picture to draw. Label: stoma, guard cell,

epidermal cells and chloroplast.

2-What is transpiration?

3-What are stomata?

4-What gases are exchanged through the stomata?

V. Stems: Neatly draw and label an herbaceous monocot and dicot stem. Use:

epidermis, xylem, phloem, and vascular bundles. Use page 589. Do not draw

woody stems.
