mel-nik [20]

Answer:

B. stomata.  

Explanation:

Stomata are openings in the surface of the plant epidermis through which gases and water vapor pass. They are formed by two elongated cells whose shape is similar to bean grain or dumbbell depending on the species.  These cells are called guard cells, and in their midst there is a slit called the ostiole.

The stomata make the exchanges between the external and internal environment of the plant. They regulate the size of the opening, so it is possible to increase or decrease the rate of perspiration of the plant.

Stomata are usually located at the bottom of the leaf, but in aquatic plants such as the water lily they are at the top and still in vertical growing plants on both sides.

lbvjy [14]

Antidepressant medication tends to increase the concentration of central serotonin in the brain.

Antidepressants medications are drugs that are used to relieve symptoms of depression, anxiety disorders and other conditions. The concentration of central serotonin (a neurochemical) in the brain is increased to a dangerous level when antidepressant medications such as serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) is used together with another antidepressant that also influences serotonin levels in the brain.
