Answer:

The high end cost of professionals and litigation matter caused the faliure of Superfund

Explanation:

Super fund program was initiated by the united States to clean most toxic and contaminated places in 1980.

It strengthened the EPA by providing them power to identify organisation responsible for producing noxious hazards nationwide. Till today 1300 such sites lie on the priority list of the programme.

The programe was a shortcut strategy to clean up the harmful sites by billions of funding. But cases such as lake canal where the clean up programme even after 15 years is slow due to litigation and high cost issues  makes the consequence dicey.

Most of the cost estimated for any cleaning any hazardous sites consists of made administrative fees and lawyers salary apart from the actual cost of cleaning which caused the failure of Superfund in terms of its implementation

adoni [48]

Answer:

Stomata are the organs present on the stem and leaves of the plant and help in the gaseous exchange and evaporating water present in the aerial parts of the plant. Mainly leaves stomata plays role in gaseous exchange and transpiration which is the evaporation of the aerial water of plants by opening and closing the stomata. Stomata are small pores mostly and normally present under the leaves and regulated by the guard cells, dum bell shaped cells to close or close it.

Other than closing and opening the stomata, stomata density also can affect the rate of gas exchange as well as transpiration. Stomata density is the presence of the numbers of the stomata per unit area. In heat or sunny area the stomata density is higher than the shady or dark area to increase the transpiration in order to cool down the leaves of the plant which prevent the chloroplast proteins to denature.
