  2. Hydathode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydathode

    A hydathode is a type of pore, commonly found in vascular plants, [1] that secretes water through pores in the epidermis or leaf margin, typically at the tip of a marginal tooth or serration. Hydathodes occur in the leaves of submerged aquatic plants such as Ranunculus fluitans [ 2 ] as well as herbaceous plants of drier habitats such as ...

  3. Lenticel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenticel

    A lenticel is a porous tissue consisting of cells with large intercellular spaces in the periderm of the secondarily thickened organs and the bark of woody stems and roots of gymnosperms and dicotyledonous flowering plants. [2] It functions as a pore, providing a pathway for the direct exchange of gases between the internal tissues and ...

  4. Tracheid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracheid

    The first two of them were lignified and had pores to facilitate the transportation of water between cells. The P-type tracheid cells had pits similar to extant plant tracheids. Later, more complex pits appeared, such as bordered pits on many tracheids, which allowed plants to transport water between cells while reducing the risk of cavitation ...

  5. Sieve tube element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_tube_element

    Their narrow pores are necessary in their function in most seedless vascular plants and gymnosperms which lack sieve-tube members and only have sieve cells to transport molecules. [1] While sieve cells have smaller sieve areas, they are still distributed across several cells to still effectively transport material to various tissue within the ...

  6. Epidermis (botany) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidermis_(botany)

    The epidermis is the outermost cell layer of the primary plant body. In some older works the cells of the leaf epidermis have been regarded as specialized parenchyma cells, [1] but the established modern preference has long been to classify the epidermis as dermal tissue, [2] whereas parenchyma is classified as ground tissue. [3]

    Germ pore, a small pore in the outer wall of a fungal spore through which the germ tube exits upon germination; Stoma, a small opening on a plant leaf used for gas exchange; An anatomical feature of the anther in some plant species, the opening through which pollen is released; A characteristic surface feature of porate pollen

    They can absorb water and other species with a critical diameter less than 4 Å such as NH 3, H 2 S, SO 2, CO 2, C 2 H 5 OH, C 2 H 6, and C 2 H 4. Bottle of 4A molecular sieves Some molecular sieves are used to assist detergents as they can produce demineralized water through calcium ion exchange, remove and prevent the deposition of dirt.
