Stomata are sections in plants leaves that regulate the amount of water vapor and gases entering in and out of green plant leaves. Stomata are very essential in the control of water loss through the plant leaves in a process of transpiration.

Dark plants use the inverted stomatal rhythm and the openings of the stomata are wider in the dark. The opening of the stomata in leaves increases with time: at the beginning, fewer are open but after sometime majority become ...

This paper will focus on the process of cartilage and bone formation and the stimulation of bone formation by the growth hormone. There are a number of factors that regulate the formation of bone, while growth hormone affects a number of factors related to ...
