<span>Cocaine Preparations
-Coca leaves --> Coca Paste (60% pure): Not water soluble, so you can't inject it into the bloodstream -- you need an additional chemical step to turn the paste into crystal powder that can be injected or snorted
-Coca --> Cocaine Hydrochloride (99% pure): Doesn't hold up very well to heat, so you can't smoke cocaine hydrochloride
-Cocaine Hydrochloride (99% pure) --> Free-Base Cocaine or Crack Cocaine:
-Reconvert cocaine hydrochloride back to base state by removing hydrochloride from cocaine (that's why it's called free-base cocaine)
-Crack cocaine is a crystallized form, mixture of cocaine and baking soda
-75% pure
-Can be used at lower doses and is much cheaper than cocaine
-Can be smoked</span>

Stomata close when the vacuoles in the guard cells fill with water and the cells become turgid. The environmental stimulus that causes this response is the change from light to dark. During the day, heat from the sun causes evaporation in the leaves, which leads to water loss from the leaves, by way of the stomata, in a process known as transpiration. At night, the absence of the sun's heat slows the rate of evaporation, causing the vacuoles in the guard cells to fill with water by way of osmosis, causing the guard cells to become turgid and seal off the stomata.
