  2. Palisade cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palisade_cell

    Palisade cell, or palisade mesophyll cell are plant cells located inside the mesophyll of most green leaves. They are vertically elongated and are stacked side by side, in contrast to the irregular and loosely arranged spongy mesophyll cells beneath them. Palisade cells are responsible for carrying out the majority of the photosynthesis in a ...

  3. C4 carbon fixation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C4_carbon_fixation

    A diffusive barrier is between the chloroplasts (which contain RuBisCO) and the cytosol. This enables a bundle-sheath-type area and a mesophyll-type area to be established within a single cell. Although this does allow a limited C 4 cycle to operate, it is relatively inefficient.

  4. Palisade (pathology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palisade_(pathology)

    In histopathology, a palisade is a single layer of relatively long cells, arranged loosely perpendicular to a surface and parallel to each other. [1] A rosette is a palisade in a halo or spoke-and-wheel arrangement, surrounding a central core or hub. [ 2 ]

  5. Composition of the human body - Wikipedia

    Parts-per-million cube of relative abundance by mass of elements in an average adult human body down to 1 ppm. About 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium ...

  6. Ground tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_tissue

    This tissue system is present between the dermal tissue and forms the main bulk of the plant body. Parenchyma cells have thin primary walls and usually remain alive after they become mature. Parenchyma forms the "filler" tissue in the soft parts of plants, and is usually present in cortex , pericycle , pith , and medullary rays in primary stem ...

  7. Human thermoregulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_thermoregulation

    As in other mammals, human thermoregulation is an important aspect of homeostasis. In thermoregulation, body heat is generated mostly in the deep organs, especially the liver, brain, and heart, and in contraction of skeletal muscles. [1] Humans have been able to adapt to a great diversity of climates, including hot humid and hot arid.

  9. Transpiration stream - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transpiration_stream

    3- Water moves from the xylem into the mesophyll cells, evaporates from their surfaces and leaves the plant by diffusion through the stomata. In plants, the transpiration stream is the uninterrupted stream of water and solutes which is taken up by the roots and transported via the xylem to the leaves where it evaporates into the air/ apoplast ...
