coordination of stomata and vein patterns with leaf width underpins water use efficiency in a c4 crop

Recently, we found that across several C 4 grasses, leaf width (LW) correlated positively with g sw and negatively with iWUE. Here, using 48 field-grown genotypes of Sorghum bicolor, a C4 crop suited to dry and hot environments, we validated these correlations. Three times a day, we monitored leaf gas exchange and modeled leaf energy balance together with structural characteristics as possible iWUE predictors.

The underlying causes of variance in intrinsic water-use efficiency (iWUE = net photosynthesis/stomatal conductance for water vapors, gsw), particularly in C4 plants, are not well understood. Recently, we found that across many C4 grasses, leaf width (LW) associated negatively with iWUE and favorably with gsw. Here, using 48 field-grown genotypes of Sorghum bicolor, a C4 crop suited to hot and dry environments, we validated these correlations. Three times a day, we monitored leaf gas exchange and modeled leaf energy balance together with structural characteristics as possible iWUE predictors. LW associated favorably with gsw, interveinal distance of longitudinal veins, and the proportion of stomatal aperture relative to maximum while negatively with iWUE, stomatal density, and interveinal distance. Modeling of the energy balance revealed that broader leaves especially during noon when air temperatures approached 40°C, required to open their stomata more to produce a higher negative leaf-to-air temperature differential. These findings demonstrate the crucial part LW, which affects stomatal aperture and coordinates vein and stomatal characteristics, plays in forming iWUE. LW might therefore be used to forecast sorghum genotypes with greater iWUE.

The right answer is B. back pain from the compressed nerves

Narrow cervical canal symptoms can range widely from no symptoms to gait and balance disorders to radiculaglia when there is foraminal narrowing associated with central narrowing. Discrete balance disorders may be early signs of myelopathy (posterior cords). Later, the patients suffer from proximal weakness and paresthesia of the four limbs, as well as disorders of the fine motor skills of the hands (do not manage to close buttons of shirt, difficulties with the writing, etc., on reaching the lower motor neuron). In more advanced stages, gait disturbances and even later sphincter control disorders may occur (upper motor neuron involvement).

At your lab station, you put 30 mL of hydrogen peroxide into three separate beakers and add 2 grams of ground up liver to each o
stepan [7]

Based on the investigation, the inference that can be made about the result is that catalase activity increases with warm temperature.

The liver usually contains an enzyme known as catalase that is capable of breaking down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas. The bubbles observed in the beaker during the investigation represent the oxygen being evolved from the breakdown of the hydrogen peroxide by the catalase in the liver sample.

At room temperature, a moderate number of oxygen bubbles were observed.  The number of bubbles increased with increased temperature as a result of placing the beaker in a warm water bath. At a lower temperature brought by placing the beaker in an ice water bath, no bubbles were observed.

Thus, we can effectively conclude that the activities of the catalase enzyme in the liver increased with a moderately increased temperature.
