Ih+stIte+ 11t 1t11 RespIrarIon The process at which the exchanging gas occurs between the plant cell and the environment. It occurs by diIIusion through stomata (leaI) and lenticels (woody stem). The stomata oI most plants open when there is a light and closed in the dark. The stomata are mostly Iound under the leaI. ach stoma is surrounded by two guard cells. Stomata can open and closed depending on environmental condition. 1he otture tI sttmata. 1he otture tI toenne and tItsne tI sttmata. smoreguIarIon The control oI water uptake and loss due to rate oI transpiration. This process are controlled by the opening and closing oI stomata and the xylem Iunction as to transport water in plants. When they are open, the stomata causes water loss to surrounding. Water in plants become hypotonic. This condition will cause the root to absorbed more water Irom the soil to balance water contains in plant. 1he otture tI water uotaRe n oIant. /aprarIon ot sromara In /Itterenr pIanrs. icotyledonous plants : Stomata are Iound in the lower epidermis. essert plants (cacti) : No. oI somata are greatly reduced. In extreme case the leaves are modiIied to become pricks (thorn). The structure oI stomata is modiIied and become sunken, they are Iound among Iine hairs called trichome. In Crussulacaea Iamily & certain cacti : Stomata open at night and close during a day. naIogy ot osmoreguIarIon an/ respIrarIon In pIanr. pIanarIon ot anaIogy.

The process oI photosynthesis occurred at the tightly packed ordered chairs. The gas oI O2 will enter the windows and pass through the loose spaces oI the disordered chairs and tightly packed ordered chairs. Ixplunutlnn nn rexplrutlnn nn pluntx. The opening oI windows will cause the water loss to surrounding through transpiration process. This process keep continuing to balance the water content inside the plants. Water moves Irom the stairs and goes to the pathway and the water will distributed to the all classroom. To balance the water in the school building, we must absorb more water Irom the soil. Water is absorbed through the osmosis process. It will cause the water in the classroom become hypotonic to the surrounding.

The guard cell will control the closing and opening oI stomata. Osmoregulation is the control oI water uptake and loss in plants due to the rate oI transpiration. Byleraning oI our anology, we can improve our understanding about respiration and osmoregulation in plants.
