correlation and causation: Many students do not understand the fundamental difference between correlation and causation. In this lab, stomata density variation likely results from interacting ...

Scientists have uncovered how the interplay between cell shape and mechanical stress influences the orientation of stomata ...

Stanford, CA -- Plants have tiny pores on their leaves called stomata -- Greek for mouths--through which they take in carbon dioxide from the air and from which water evaporates. New work from the lab ...

Plants grow from something unexpected—carbon drawn in through tiny pores called stomata. At Stanford, researchers are studying how these structures form to understand plant growth. Subscribe to our ...

In this three week lab, students use the technique of making clear nail polish impressions of leaf stomata to generate and test an hypothesis of their choice about how leaf stomata density might vary ...
