Mesophyll
Specialized ground tissue that makes up the bulk of most leaves; performs most of a plant's photosynthesis
Palisade Mesophyll
Layer of tall, column-shaped mesophyll cells just under the upper epidermis of a leaf
Spongy Mesophyll
Loose tissue beneath the palisade layer of a leaf
Stoma
Opening in the underside of a leaf that allows carbon dioxide and oxygen to diffuse into and out of the leaf
Guard Cell
Specialized cell in the epidermis of plants that controls the opening and closing of stomata by responding to changes in water pressure
Transpiration

The Mitochondria in many cells, are believed to have been bacteria that have been incorporated in the cytophysiology. Mitochondria first off, contain their own DNA, er, RNA. Additionally physiologically the mitochondrion, has an inner membrane and some organelle traits similar to prokaryotic cells. Lastly Mitochondria are the only organelle capable of replicating itself. <span />
